When a person makes a comment on your blog post, WordPress has the facility to show an icon next to the posting. This is called an avatar. It is possible to show an actual image of the person posting the comment, if they set up a Gravitar .

So if you want your image to appear on a blog posting;-

1. Sign up for a Gravitar  account at  http://en-gravatar.com
2. You will be asked to enter an email address,  after which you will create a nickname and password
3. Next you can upload an image to associate with the email address you entered.
4. Go to you Wordpress blog admin section http://youraddress/wp-admin
5. Select the option ‘Settings’, then ‘Discussion’, then Avatar
6. You will see a panel with options which you set with a radio button. Set Gravitar and then save.

From now on, when you post a comment, the image you uploaded to your Gravitar account will be displayed.
