How do I change my picture?

I’m using a plugin called <a href=”http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=1462″>wavatars</a> to automatically create a picture for you when you leave a comment. The generated picture is based on your email; as long as you use the same email, you’ll get the same picture, even on other blogs using the same plugin.

If you don’t like your picture, you have two options:

1: Use a different email address. This will result in a different randomly-generated picture.

2: Register a <a href=”http://site.gravatar.com/”>gravatar</a>, or Globally Recognized Avatar. If you register a gravatar, it will take precedence over the randomly-generated wavatar. That’s why, for example, the picture next to the comments I leave is a stylized A.

Let’s see if my gravatar works… Hmm, maybe there’s a delay after setting up my gravatar.
