Avatars for dummies

Hi guys from a newbie.

I’m sure this has been done to death before but am not sure if ANY of the previous posts cover my issue. I have searched and glanced at a few.

I am new here and am not sure of the connection between .org and .com but I see that my .org credentials mean nothing in .com so that’s a start!!!

I have a new wordpress site with a blog. I have created an avatar for my profile (admin). I see the avatar against my profile and in the top right corner of dashboard.

Problem: I replied to a blog post in my website blog and the avatar does not appear.

Now, I have read that it takes a few days for the avatar to appear but i assumed that was for the support forums etc NOT on my own blog.

Can anyone shed any light on this for me at all please?

Thanx in advance – Ian
