==Your Gravatar== | |||
Gravatar is a WordPress system that allows you to have an icon that displays whenever you post or comment on WordPress blogs across the internet. | |||
''Note'': Gravatar uses email addresses to match your login to each WordPress site, so if you want to keep your StarBase 118 image different than the image you would use when commenting on other blogs, you will need to change your email address in ''our'' WordPress system. You can check what email address you have on our WordPress site by going [http://www.starbase118.net/wp-admin/profile.php here] and looking at the "email" field. You can change that email address to something StarBase 118 specific. | |||
Now, to set your Gravatar, follow these instructions: | |||
# Go to the [http://en.gravatar.com/ Gravatar website] | |||
# Register or log in '''using the same email address in your WordPress profile'''. | |||
# Upload an image of you or your character (or your RL image, if you want -- it's totally your choice!) and follow the prompts. | |||
Once you return to our WordPress site, and you log in, you should see a tiny version of your Gravatr in the upper right-hand corner. You may need to wait up to 15 minutes, reload the page, and/or log out of our site to make it appear. | |||
==Your Author Bio== | |||
Under each post you create, your Gravatar and a small author bio will appear. You need to set that author bio before you can begin posting. You are free to use an In Character or Out Of Character bio, but we recommend that you match the bio to your Gravatar -- so if you choose an In Character Gravatar, you should write an In Character bio. If you use an Out Of Character image for your Gravatar, you should use an OOC bio. | |||
To set your bio, go to your profile, [http://www.starbase118.net/wp-admin/profile.php edit your "Biographical Info" field] on the profile page of our WordPress site (click that link to go there directly), and make sure you save your profile! | |||
