At Source Forge

At Gravatar.com

1. Go to Gravatar.com.

2. Sign into your Wordpress account at the Gravatar website. The username and password are the same as that for your Gravatar.com account.

3. Click the drop down menu under "Account" in the upper right hand corner and choose "Add An Email Address".

4. Paste the secondary email address in the email box and click "Add". Source Forge will forward the Gravatar confirmatory email to your real (primary) email address.

5. When you click the link in that confirmatory email, you will be taken to a page with your primary email account and the secondary email account that you had just added.

6. Click the box containing the new email address and choose the image.

7. A dialog box with the new email address and the image will pop up. Click "confirm" to choose the image and then the picture should pop up at the Forums almost instantaneously.


The Support section on the bottom of the Home page is very helpful. Use it if you encounter a problem or you can post the problem to the Forums.


Have fun decorating.
