Very helpful and really cool how you keep making these infovideos for us that get better and better every time, Ms. Techy! ;)
Much love,

Let’s see if this works! I’ve been trying to get this gravatar thing to work for a while…

Kelly Pratt April 11, 2010 at 3:38 am

Woo Hoo – you’re a genius Christine! thanks.

Nice tutorial!

Tangerine Meg April 11, 2010 at 8:42 am

Thanks for this, Christine! Let’s see if mine works :)
PS I look forward to each of your blog posts!

I am creating the mindset that despite being the internetly and technologically challenged person that I am, I can indeed follow the tutorial and succeed. And internetly is a word. I’m sure of it.

how awesome is this??? So many beautiful cool women to say hello to this Sunday morning!

[Reply]

Annie April 11, 2010 at 10:34 am

Thank you! I always wondered how to do that. Apparently I already had an account with Gravatar, but no picture. Go figure!

[Reply]

Janet April 11, 2010 at 11:24 am

That was fun and easy. I want to see if it works too. I’m a big fan Christine and now my husband Paul is too. (in uplevel your business) You make us feel like we can do anything!

Michelle Hastie April 11, 2010 at 12:56 pm

Gravatar should give you commission! Thanks.

[Reply]

Joy Tanksley April 11, 2010 at 12:59 pm

Hey! My Gravatar made the video! Anyone want my autograph? :)

Thanks, Christine. I’ve had several readers ask how to get their picture to show up in the comments. Now I can just send them this link. Well done!

Susan Scofield April 11, 2010 at 1:14 pm

I managed to get this far, but what I still can’t figure out is how to make the gravatar work with pc AND mac . . . I can get one, but not the other.

[Reply]

Jadyn April 11, 2010 at 1:19 pm

Thanks so much for this! Even though I have a wordpress account, I didn’t know how to do this and had been wondering about it!

[Reply]

inge April 11, 2010 at 1:46 pm

#testing ; )

[Reply]

inge April 11, 2010 at 1:47 pm

whaaaaa it didn’t work!

[Reply]

julia April 11, 2010 at 2:30 pm

How do you make these cool videos? Maybe with imovie on a mac?

[Reply]

Christine Kane April 11, 2010 at 3:08 pm

I love this. :-) (And Jadyn – NO FAIR. you look cute even with the computer camera shooting you!)

Inge – try again perhaps? It might be the photo size is too large – and gravatar is rejecting it? I think that happened to me once. but my technical prowess only goes so far. (And that applies to you too Susan. Not sure about that.) And Annie – yea, every now and then i’ll find an account I opened that i had NO idea existed. Go figure indeed!

Michelle – i’ll be sure to let gravatar know they owe me money. but i’m not actually sure how they MAKE money..??

Joy – yes, we all want your autograph!

Thanks Janet! I’m so glad to hear that you’re taking your business to new heights in Uplevel YOur Business. I LOVE teaching that program!

[Reply]

Christine Kane April 11, 2010 at 3:09 pm

oh yea -

julie – this is a screen capture video – and I use a program called iShowU. for pc’s you can use camtasia. There’s a learning curve – but it’s pretty easy once you get used to it.

[Reply]

Michelle Hastie April 11, 2010 at 3:59 pm

OOOO I just got ishowu three days ago and love it!

[Reply]

Alison Gresik April 11, 2010 at 9:18 pm

I just figured this out a few days ago — this is my first chance to test it out. Thanks, Christine!

[Reply]

inge April 12, 2010 at 5:31 am

I think I know what I did wrong.
but again.
#testing..

MAX April 12, 2010 at 8:51 am

joy says you are brilliant, this is really clear
and she’s going to try this someday.

i, myself, prefer to help joy by
walking all over her macbook keyboard
as she types.

Here I am. Nice to see everyone else too! V well made tutorial video.

elaine April 12, 2010 at 4:48 pm

Hello! I followed the instructions on your awesome video – so now hoping I’m not just a snowflake! :)

[Reply]

elaine April 12, 2010 at 4:51 pm

Hmm! I’m still a snowflake :(

[Reply]

elaine April 12, 2010 at 4:54 pm

May be I’m NOT a snowflake now – though the green is a nice creative color!?

[Reply]

elaine April 12, 2010 at 4:57 pm

Yay! 8-)

Kathy Troidle Jackson April 12, 2010 at 6:49 pm

Look at all those pretty faces!! Love it!! I’ve been meaning to do this forever. Thanks for the kick in the pants.

[Reply]

Laura Mixon, PhD April 12, 2010 at 6:59 pm

Woo HOO. I was wunderin’ how to do this! I thought I had to set up an OpenID account. THANKS!

[Reply]

Tonya Leigh April 12, 2010 at 9:11 pm

Testing 1, 2, 3, 4

[Reply]

Tonya Leigh April 12, 2010 at 9:12 pm

Thanks Christine. So nice to see all the beautiful faces.

[Reply]

Leonie April 13, 2010 at 4:39 pm

Time for a test run!

This is really weird, though, because I am 100% sure I did not sign up to Gravatar.com, even though my email address and usual password did the trick for logging in. I tried signing up first, but it said I already had…

My guess is it ties in with Blogger or Google or something along those lines. Oh well, no harm done, and now there’s a partially obscured face next to my comment! :)

[Reply]

Leonie April 13, 2010 at 4:41 pm

Ahhh, it’s linked to my WordPress account. It all makes sense to me now! (And hopefully to some other people too :) )

Thanks for the instructions, Christine!

Hannah April 14, 2010 at 9:53 am

I just discovered your site through a friend and now I can’t stop reading and listening and loving. I feel as though I know you and that someday we will meet, you are going on my vision board! You are already an inspiration and I can’t wait to see where this will go!

[Reply]

Jan Small April 14, 2010 at 5:33 pm

Thanks, Christine! Great tip…now, let’s see if I have a face or I’m still a snowflake…

[Reply]

Lorie April 14, 2010 at 7:37 pm

Ok, I did it… let’s see what happens!

[Reply]

Lorie April 14, 2010 at 7:38 pm

oh yay!! how fun is that?!

[Reply]

Christine Walker April 15, 2010 at 10:32 am

Thanks Christine, just was wondering how to do this recently. Great video.

[Reply]

katherineME April 16, 2010 at 1:51 pm

darn. I am doing something wrong. I will figure it out.

[Reply]

katherineME April 16, 2010 at 1:53 pm

oooh, It worked. Yay! Gravatar took a bit longer than my quick typing fingers! How ’bout that!
Thanks for this post Christine. I love these helpful things that make life just a little sweeter!
Have a wonderful weekend! I know I will….Cowdoy Junkies are in town!

[Reply]

katherineME April 16, 2010 at 1:54 pm

that would be COWBOY Junkies…can not be so disrespectful as to misspell their name.

[Reply]

Bonnie April 18, 2010 at 7:57 pm

Testing… If it works, I’m showing my face around here for the first time, but I’ve enjoyed your blog for-evah! Thanks for all the advice and inspiration. The “Stop gathering and start making” post really had my name on it! Thanks, Christine.

[Reply]

Nancy April 18, 2010 at 9:43 pm

Love this! Thanks for the tip Christine
