A Gravatar is an "avatar" image that follows you from site to site when you do things like blog or comment on blogs.
Creating a gravatar associated with all of your Wordpress comments is very important as it adds credibility and humanizes not just the comments you post on your website, but the comments that you post on others' websites. This leads to a better, more interactive and trustworthy discussion.
To create a gravatar, it is a very easy process. You simply go to Gravatar.com and set-up an account.
==> Gravatar.com
**Do know that you can only have one gravatar per email address, so if you want multiple gravatar accounts you will need to use unique email addresses that are not registered within the gravatar.com platform.
In this video I am going to walk you through the following:
- Creating a Gravatar.com account
- Adding an image to your gravatar account
- How to test your gravatar live
- Associating a gravatar with a user in Wordpress.
- Adding a gravatar to the SiteComments platform

Or will I have to create the account with a different email?
The activation email isn't showing up in my email account. I've checked my spam folder and tried to resend the email, but it's still not there.
I used my domain email address, but I hadn't connected it to my gmail yet. I have done it now, and I know it works, but when I click resend the confirmation email, it still doesn't show up. Anyone who knows what the problem is?
I appreciate the help,
Thanks,
Mira
