Create your gravatar
The only way to have your picture show up alongside your author profile on your website is to setup a Globally Recognized Avatar, or Gravatar. This associates a profile with your email address – and then loads your profile onto websites that use the service.
Most people put this off… which means they’re stuck with a little gray outline, and who wants to be recognized globally as a little gray outline?
