What's up, everyone?

In This Tutorial, You’ll Learn:

- Finding Your Associated Email: I'll guide you through checking which email is linked to your WordPress user profile, setting the stage for your Gravatar setup.
- Creating Your Gravatar Account: Step-by-step instructions on how to sign up for Gravatar with your desired email address, ensuring it aligns with your WordPress user.
- Choosing the Right Image: Tips on selecting and uploading an image to Gravatar that represents you best, whether it's a personal photo, an emoji, or any visual that you feel embodies your online identity.
- Linking Gravatar to WordPress: Once your image is set, I'll show you how it integrates with your WordPress sites, appearing in comments and enhancing the personal feel of your interactions.
- The Impact of Gravatar: Discussing how a Gravatar can make your comments and posts more engaging and trustworthy, encouraging more interaction from your audience.
Gravatars are a simple yet powerful way to personalize your online activity, especially when engaging with your WordPress websites.
If you have any questions about setting up your Gravatar or want tips on choosing the right image, drop a comment below, and I'll be glad to help.

I found the Gravatar in Generate Press.
If you click on your name where it appears under the title of your Post, a new box will open up that displays your Gravatar image, your name, and space to include a brief Bio.
If you go to Users: Your Name: Edit in your WordPress Dashboard, you can add your Bio there ... next to where it reads, "Biographical Info."
After this is done, when you or anyone visiting your site clicks on your name under a Post title the whole bio will show. This will serve as a Byline, which Google seems to like per E-E-A-T/Creating Helpful People-First content:

P.S. I'm obviously using Generate Press and I assume lots of newer affiliates are too, but if you have another Theme that isn't self-evidently displaying your Gravatar you might try this.
P.P.S. I thought this was a good article on writing a Byline.

Yes I need help with a Image, very difficult for me to set up. I in body and soul spirit a person more concerned about our or MY community. About all human beings but with special reference to the poor, less privileged, less fortunate struggling young and old as firstly they go hungry, unemployed, less income, then also the elder person like me and younger that is on the brink of death, unnecessarily forever on the way to condemnation while Jesus brought the message of salvation to the world which is the only guarantee for a better life on earth and eternity in heave with God. This what's I found at a late age but thank God, This is my and the world's first priority. Then I offer them my products and other solutions that's a difficulty and challenge to them to find happiness and better lifestyle, then also share up to 50 my profits buying them food and shelter. I trust God will allow me enough time to fulfil my main goal, and the reaso.n for living
Thanks for the oppertunity to share with you my passion and goals.

You can add whatever image you want as your gravatar, it can be an emoji, a caricature, or a personal image. That is totally up to you! :)
I have a web site and it is live. However, it was done a ling time ago and is not as neat as the site just developed in this training. Should I delete the content that I have and redo everything or is there a better way for me to go forward?
Thanks,
George
If you want to start fresh I would just suggest that you may want to start with a new domain and website. That would be ideal, then you are starting with a fresh slate with Google and other search engines.:)
Hello Kyle How is your day ? Here I am trying to promote WA with all possible platforms . Here I would like to know my status as a starter ? Thank you all WA community's !!
You can promote the Wealthy Affiliate platform to get people to sign up and upgrade; you would be able to pay subscriptions. Here is how it works.

That's the $ sign top menu.
As a starter, your commissions would be halved; as and when you decide to become a premium, you'd get full commissions.
For every profile complete, set up a $1; however, you can't claim the $1 for setting up a profile until you have at least 20 referrals and one upgraded to premium.
You can only cash them out when 5% of your starters upgrade to premium.

So I created a new email address (using my own domain) on-site emails. Then I logged in to webmail. I tried to create an account with Gravatar but it said Invalid email. Currently under users in WordPress there is me as an admin with my personal Gmail account. Do I have to add a new user with the new email address so I can then create an account in Gravatar?
In WordPress if you click Edit under User (ie Admin) you should be able to scroll down the page and see a direct link to Gravatar. (See attached.) This will be associated with your User's email which is also visible on the same page. Click on the link.
Its one Gravatar per email and you'll want to make sure you are logged out of any other Gravatar account you might have.
When you arrive at Gravatar, Gravatar will tell you that it needs to send a link
to verify your email. Go to your email. Follow that link back to Gravatar to set up your account.
You can change your Gmail admin email to a Site Email email. You will also want to add yourself as a user with a separate Site Email email address. Do this before you set up your Gravatar.
Hope this helps ... I just woke up :)
So in WordPress I have to change my users current email to my new (own domain) email ?
Your email address is what is connected to the gravatar image. So anywhere you use that email address in Wordpress (once gravatar is set-up, the image will be set up).
You can check your gravatar here for any given email address:

Thanks for your reply Kyle. I managed to set up a Gravatar image account for my default user account on WordPress with a gmail address. However, I think I am missing information on how to add a new user in Word Press and create a domain email. Is there a tutorial or video about adding a new user and creating a domain email?
Try this: How to Create a New User in Wordpress
thank you!!
My pleasure :)
I'm writing but I'm keeping an eye on this thread so if you have more questions, ask.
Creating Gravatars, Site Emails, and adding Users will seem EASY to you after you do it a couple times. I promise. :)
