Might depend on the mail program? That made me realize I'd have to get creative with the links in my blog so everyone can find them regardless of their navigator/e-mail program etc. Just FYI,

Perhaps it just needed a matter of several hours before the site got it pushed out and was publishing it where needed. We get so used to the web being instantaneous, but certain things do take more time. And I did nothing more to make it show.

It looks like one Karen has succeed in getting the Leaping Gravatar to show, but now Karooch Karen's gravatar is doing a now you see it, now you don't act. The gravatar shows in the Recent Comments widget on the sidebar, but not with the actual comment. Again, I suspect it's an issue of what Email address is associated with the Gravatar and the Blog. My son was having a problem getting his Gravatar to show, and part of the issue was that he had different passwords for his gravatar and Blogger blog. We reset the passwords so they match. Actually, the practical aspect of a Gravatar is to have just one password that you can use for various applications, like your OpenId. No more keeping a long list of passwords for every single online site! And Karen Karoch, while you daughter may be the expert, I bet you'll be finding new things to teach her about the web as well. It's a limitless world of learning opportunities, best shared with friends and family. Oh, this is too funny!

Actually it was my daughter that introduced me to web technologies, not the other way around. She has been active on the web since the mid 90s and is now a web developer. So she's the one giving me the advice. Thanks Sandra, I’ve wanted to get the gravatar thing happening for some time but never got around to it. i appreciate the prompt.

Maybe what I uploaded was too big? Although it shows up fine in my gravatar account. What a conundrum. Almost as frustrating as my argument with my bank this morning, although not nearly as financially worrisome!

I've looked through my comments and the gravatars do work, but I suspect there might be issues when there is a question as to what Email is associated with a blog address & gravatar. By the way, I do see your Gravatar within my Manage Comments queue, so it's especially perplexing that it doesn't display on the actual comment. Does your gravatar show up on other blogs? (Elferkid.com or Just Enough both have gravatars enabled.) Well, it's certainly frustrating exploring the wired frontiers, but that makes it all the more rewarding when we solve the problem, right? Karen,

My leaping avatar is showing up when I do the check on it at gravatar.com. Maybe you have something not quite right on this end? It should just automatically show up here when I post if I'm using the correct name and email address, right? Well, I don’t understand it, Sandra.

So, it's definitely been that long now. Am I present? Did #1
