Hi Kyle, I presently started 3 websites here in WA. Don't worry I will not be starting anymore! Not until I work hard to get these at a level I can within time.
I got two of the sites to accept my Gravatar profile photo (all different Gravatar accounts with different emails and photos) but the third will not go through from some reason. It says it is waiting for confirmation and I logged back in and they sent me an email to confirm it but for some reason this particular site is not working. Any suggestions?
Is it necessary to put my face on the gravatar? I love my business, but I like my face to just be on the HUBS profile. However, I love that I can change my name from admin. to my name. It feels like a real person is in charge, not a robot. thoughts anyone?
Thanks kyle,
I followed your instructions and I did it.

One thing that I have learned while being a member of Wealthy Affiliate, is that doing complicated tasks becomes easier and easier over the months and years.
Those people that are having issues creating your gravatar, after a few months within Wealthy Affiliate you will find tasks like this, get easier and easier, because you will know your way around the Wealthy Affiliate dashboard.
When I first started in Wealthy Affiliate in 2022, I didnt even know what an affiliate link was! In time you will find tasks like the above get easier and easier, so dont worry.

That is always the case when you are learning something new, and as you "do it". I always say that the things that are difficult or maybe a little confusing now, will become second nature down the road. And they do!
I'm pretty sure I created a domain email address for my website. If I check all users I can only see one gmail I have, I don't see the second one "my user name". I followed this video and the previously one. Did I miss some steps? All I wanted to do is to put a profile picture with the same steps.

I waited for over an hour before I posted in here after trying many different things over and over. I thought I checked my spam box even a couple different times for the email and didn't see it. Well I went back again and actually finally found it, clicked through and now my sight is recognizing my Gravatar for the third site. Was rewarding I figured it out myself! ;-)
Awesome, really glad you sorted this out and going through the process and figuring it out like you have has led to a newfound "gravatar" skill set. ;)
