I consider myself to be quite smat (<-deliberate attempt at humour) however the method of changing my avatar on my own blog site eluded me for longer than it should have.
You may have guessed by now that whenever you leave a comment the avatar next to your name is automatically generated. If you wish to change this to something a little more personal, head over to Gravatar where you can simply plug in your email address, upload an image and whallah, your avatar set – not only on this website but on all other WordPress based websites where you use your email address to authenticate.
Too easy.
