Hey guys
So couple days ago I was having a really massive headache figuring out few things.
It started when I was watching Kyle's walk thru video, I think it was Course 2 Lesson 8, the adding an additional user.
So I've added up a personalized admin user using my name.
First I changed the email address of the default admin user I had to a dummy email address so I can use the email address that is link to my gravatar.
It was a success doing it, yay!

But then when I go to posts that has commentors in it which of course I replied, I could only see the old admin profile that I used before, but not the new admin profile that I created? And my gravatar was gone oh no! :'(
I went thru to dashboard-settings-Discussion and updated everything but yeah didn't do anything.
Hmmm Headache. See Screenshot Attached

So what I did was delete the default admin user as you can see there's a delete button next to it already as you won't be able to delete the new user name that you've assigned as admin for some reason I don't know. Maybe because it's set as admin.But there will be options on what to do with all the contents that OLD admin user made, so be very careful not to delete them without transferring the attributes to the NEW admin user you created. See screenshot below.

Here's a screenshot of the options before you click Confirm Deletion

And Voila! Headache gone! Finally can see my gravatar as the admin!
