# Managing Avatars

 * I’m new to WordPress, and I’d like to be able to manage the thumbnail avatars
   of my user profiles. I’ve created an account with gravitar.com and it works fine,
   but it appears that the selected gravitar is only linked to a single e-mail address.
   Is there a way of managing avatars for multiple users so that I don’t have to
   bother them with setting up their own accounts on gravitar.com and then having
   to have a separate e-mail address for each gravitar? I was hoping to be able 
   the profiles (including avatars/gravitars) from within a single admin logon. 
   Is there a plugin for uploading avatars?

 * Use one of the generated gravatars like Wavatar or MonsterID. They’re created
   on demand, so no one has to set up an account anywhere. See Admin/Settings/Discussion

 * You’re correct that on gravatar.com, each gravatar is linked to a single email
   address (though you can upload multiple images, and change the one that’s associated
   with a particular email address).
 * But it’s also true that a single gravatar.com account can manage multiple email
   addresses (I have three email addresses on mine). While I think the intent was
   to allow one to manage multiple email addresses which all belonged to the gravatar
   account holder, I don’t see why you couldn’t use your account to manage the gravatars
   of other people as well.
 * Have you tried it?
