Add an image of yourself from Gravatar

You can upload an image of yourself to an account on Gravatar web site (gravatar.com) that is then shown in the Verse "important to me" bar. An administrator enables this feature.

About this task

An image in the important to me bar can also be pulled from an IBM Connections profile. Using Gravatar is handy if the Verse deployment at your company isn't integrated with Connections or if Connections profiles don't include images. If an administrator enables the use of Gravatar for images, all images come from Gravatar rather than Connections.

To upload an image of yourself to Gravatar:
  1. Go to the Gravatar web site.
  2. Create an account, providing your Verse email address. This step creates a WordPress account for you and WordPress sends an email to you to activate your account.
  3. Open the WordPress email and activate the account.
  4. Add the image to Gravatar.

Assuming your administrator enables the use of Gravatar images, your image will be seen in the Verse important to me bar.
