You may have noticed recently that Mr. Stratton got himself a little avatar that appears when posting in comments.
You may also notice that I, David, have one too. You may want one of these, so here’s what you have to do…
go to http://en.gravatar.com/
and click here where the red arrow is pointed
When asked to enter an email address, use your Glow mail address, which can be found by visiting Pupil Home on the Glow site, going to the bottom of the page and clicking on “Change Profile”. A window will appear and your email address will show, like this –
Copy and paste this address into here –
After signing up you will receive a email waiting for you to confirm your want for Gravatar’s service, so go to the Glow Light welcoming page and click on the Envelope Icon –
You will have an Email from Gravatar waiting, read it and follow the confirmation link given. You will now be given the option to upload an image which will show up whenever you post somewhere on the blog. As long as it is square it can be any size, as Gravatar will resize the image for you or if you are only wanting part of the image you may crop it yourself. Good luck and post a comment with your new picture, or not if you can’t do it, if you need help or to show off your new avatar
Nicely done David. OK folks lets get some avatars up here. Keep ’em clean.
i think i have an avatar!
I changed one of your screen grabs. It was showing your full glow email address, I used irfanview to pixelate it.
Hi David,
Nice job on the explanation, I’ll pass the link on to teachers in NL and around Scotland.
Thanks you for your clear and helpful instructions. With your permission, I would like to add your instructions to the Glow help blog for others to use – https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/glowblogs/GlowingHelp/ – please let me know if this is OK.
Great david
What a great post. I would like to add it to the National Help Blog, with your permission.
Thank you very much, John 🙂
Yes you can use it, Alan 🙂
Testing to see if it worked.
