What’s wrong with my Gravatar ID?

Do you have a funny looking username assigned through Gravatar that starts with g2-* ?

If so, this was made when an imported Gravatar account had an email address not matching an account with WordPress.com. Please login to WordPress.com and then visit http://wordpress.com/wp-changelogin.php to change this username.

If you want your Gravatar account to match your WordPress account name:

1) Log out of both Gravatar and WordPress.

2) Log into WordPress with the username you’d like to match your Gravatar account name.

3) Log into Gravatar with the user info associated with that account.

4) Add the email associated with that account to your Gravatar account.

All done!
