What is Gravatar
Your public profile on the internet, provided by Wordpress. See https://en.gravatar.com/.
1. Upload an image to your gravatar account
If you don’t have the gravatar account, create one. Make sure that the email you used to create the account will be the email account you want to link your profile picture.
After that, upload your profile picture to gravatar.
2. Use the image everywhere
Get your md5 hash of email address
Ask DuckDuckgo
You can get the md5 checksum using duckduckgo. Search md5 {your email address} and then you will see the hash:
Use Command Line
For MacOS user, you should have the md5 utility installed, go to the terminal and check:
❯ which md5
/sbin/md5
After that, generate the md5 hash of your email address:
❯ md5 -s "myemall@address.com"
MD5 ("myemall@address.com") = ca49930cff2f87bd37bfe71ce21467f
The gravatar image url is in this format:
https://gravatar.com/avatar/{your md5 hash}?s={size}
If you want to have a 200px avatar: https://gravatar.com/avatar/ca49930cff2f87bd37bfe71ce21467f?s=200.
Use this image url e.g. in a <img> tag:
<img src="https://gravatar.com/avatar/ca49930cff2f87bd37bfe71ce21467f?s=200" />
And you are good to go!
