 * I wanted to create an account for gravatar & wordpress itself mainly
    for changing
   my avatar on my wordpress blog on [http://www.tomeks.org](http://www.tomeks.org)–
   where I already use my nickname “lxddbl” … When I try to login on gravatar it
   says that it’s an incorrect email, username, or password, please try again. great.
   new registration doesn’t help also, so what the hell?!?! Over here it’s my account
   and I don’t want this creepy thing sticked to my posts … ! RAWR! can anyone give
   a hint what to do? I even tried my luck with the support of wordpress.com, but
   they don’t know anything and are not responsible 🙁

 * You have to work with Gravatar to get your email setup there. It’s a separate
   login DB.

 * If you cannot get Gravatar registration to work, you might give the [Simple Local Avatars](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-local-avatars/)
   plugin a try as an alternative.
 * But Ipstenu is correct regarding Gravatar: it’s an issue on _their_ end, and 
   has nothing to do with WordPress. WordPress merely uses the Gravatar API to output
   Gravatars generated from email addresses.
