 * Hi, I cannot edit my profile picture. When I try to edit it, my WordPress dashboard
   says, “You can change your profile picture on Gravatar”. when I go to gravatar
   it asks for my wordpress**.com** account instead of wordpress**.org**. When I
   log into wordpress.com it says my account doesn’t exist because I am using wordpress.
   org credentials. I’m a little stuck here.

 * You’ll have to create a new account with WordPress.com. And make sure that you
   use the same email address for WordPress.com that you have with your WordPress.
   org site. WordPress.org will then automatically “pull” the avatar from WordPress.
   com that is associated with that email address. WordPress.com and WordPress.org
   are sort of two separate entities.

 * The Gravatar service is per email address, not wordpress account. Your wordpress.
   org account is in no way associated with your website.

 * Thank you so much, wordpress.org hasn’t pulled my avatar out of wordpress.com
   yet, still thanks!

 * WordPress dot org won’t pull your Avatar from WordPress dot com but will accept
   the avatar that Gravatar dot com sends out as your ‘Gravatar’.
 * A slight difference but sometimes significant when you’re trying to figure things
   out.
