Hey Christine,
Here's Kyle's video on this topic: How to Create a Gravatar Account If you don't find what you need from this, there are other resources offered here at WA. See screen print below to see how you can find them.
Hope you find this helpful.
Thanks, Triblu, I need the refresher training as well. I have one Gravatar account, But I did not understand we could have more than one account. Thanks for the refresher.

You can change the comments to the new user...you can also add your Gravitar image to multiple accounts or, more accurately, add multiple accounts to Gravitar.
I recommend the user approach if that's the user you plan to use going forward for this site and you don't have too many comments already. I forget the steps to add multiple accounts to Gravitar but you should be able to do it relatively easy from the Gravitar dashboard.
To do this simply go to your site dashboard and then navigate to Comments. Here you can edit the comments and change the author information.
I hope this helps.
Hi Chrissy, go to Wordpress and search for the wp plugin avatar and select setting, then you can scroll down and change your avatar picture.

When requesting comments which post would you focus on?
I have a post that was indexed with google quickly and last I checked was on page 4. I have 3 comments on that po
This comes down to a few factors. Usually you want to use comments to quickly get your posts indexed with Google, but they are also to raise your rankings.
The primary focus for comments requested should be on posts or pages you intend to make money with. That's not to say you can't request comments on topical posts, but your reviews and product posts should warrant the most attention/traffic.
It's important not to lose sight of the goal, to make money on your blog. All topical posts should be indexed and direct your readers/viewers to your products. If you aren't making money, you will burn out eventually and deprive everyone the chance to read and learn from you.
In short, if your keyword is killer, or your post has the potential to make you more money than others, there should be more comments on it.
Hope this helps :)
Awesome! Thanks for clarifying. I’m not quite at that point yet, still don’t have products or reviews. But will definitely keep this in mind for when I’m further along.
Thanks for the reply!
Glad I could help. Maybe check out this post on WA, it will no doubt give you clarity to get started with WA. The Eye Opening Truth About What It Takes For You To Be Successful And Supportive In WA
Depending on what your site is about, you might consider requesting comments on the posts that will have the biggest impact on society. Eventually, you want all of them.
It's hard to say. I'm focusing on working my way from oldest to newest posts. Maybe something like 5 comments per post is a good start, but that may also depend on how much available content you have on your site.
I’m just wondering if I should be spreading my requested comments to all my posts or if I should focus them on the post I know is currently doing better
Not sure if that makes sense?
I think, since your site is still so new, I'd focus on getting comments on one post at a time. It may take a little longer, but more comments and your replies to those comments will help boost your engagement rankings and help google perceive you as an authority. The post I chose to ask for comments on, is informational only, except maybe for some Adsense and banner ads on the page. That post is currently not even ranking in the top 10, so I'm hoping more activity will help Google "see" it. I hope that makes sense.
Thanks for the reply, I know I can request comments for all posts... what I’m wondering is - should I focus my comments on posts that are further in google pages to try to get traffic, or should I get more traction on the post I know will do better
Hi Chrissy yes you can but the more posts you have comments on the more you will be noticed in Google, so mix it up a little to improve it.
