How to get your profile picture added, Gravatar

One of the first things you want to do when signing up or logging in for the first time is adding your profile picture. To make the process relatively simple we integrated with a free service called Gravatar – it was created by the same group/individual(s) who started WordPress. “Gravatar” is a word made from the description “A Globally Recognized Avatar”…and thousands of sites use the service. Many times if you comment on a blog they will have integrated with Gravatar and assuming you have a photo added to your Gravatar account, that photo (Gravatar) will show in the comment you just made.

If you don’t already have a gravatar account, signup for free and follow the instructions. You’ll be able to upload a photo of your choosing to be displayed as your photo/gravatar across the web.

At ListSurfing there’s only one step you need to take. While logged in simply navigate to the menu “Account” > “Profile Settings”. This should open the “Personal” tab displaying your first and last name, and below that your Gravatar information. Here you need to add the email address you’ve registered at Gravatar. Click “Save Details” and you should see your Gravatar appear almost instantly on that page as well as within your profile.
