You should make sure your avatar (logo or photo) appears in our social network for New Work City. There a lots of reasons to have your photo in this site and we’ll explain more of what we’re doing with member profiles in future posts here. Two of the ways to upload your avatar, described below, will also populate many other systems on the web.
1. Change your avatar within this site
Select “My Account > Profile > Change Avatar” from the menu at the top of the page, as illustrated in the screen shot below.
2. Upload photo to your gmail account
When you’re in your gmail account, just click “settings” at the top, right of the page to see the screen below. Once, your gmail account has a photo, then WordPress will use the photo now associated with the email address you used when you registered with this WordPress site.
3. Gravatar puts your face everywhere
The folks at Automattic, who created WordPress, have also created Gravatar, which helps you to create or change your avatar that will be picked up by other services.
