So what I had to do was this:
- Go to Gravatar site, pick “log in”
It takes me to a wordpress login, which I didn’t have, so I had to sign up for a wordpress account.
-
Click through multiple pages of “pay this to get your personal domain” and “pay this to get wordpress upgrades” while having to search for the one small “or continue for free” option on each page. It wasn’t the easiest thing to find.
-
Go back to the gravatar link and log in there, give them the desired emails and image I want to use as the avatar.
-
Reload Citystrides and the image is updated.
The process, other than having to deal with lots of “pay this” pages with wordpress is clunky, but not terribly difficult. That being said, I think it might be more than a lot of people will want to go through.
The gravatar landing and help pages really seem geared more towards selling it and explaining it to developers, not simple users like me who just want my pic to show up on a website, so for instance the “how to use gravatar” page was basically useless to me, even though that was the first link I clicked trying to figure out what to do.
I forget where I posted it now, but would there be a way for you to link a person’s forum avatar from here to their citystrides account?
