Gravatar is a simple way to have the same avatar in several sites (or social networks).

Simply go to gravatar.com and create your account (which is free), then you just need to upload your avatar and associate all the emails that you usually use as login or contact email on the sites.

So, when a site is using gravatar it will pull the associated avatar to your email address. That easy :)

I did all that but I still haven't gotten it to work.

I have experienced that sometimes it takes a little time to show up. Specially the first time you sign up. If that is the case you can wait few hours.

Another reason could be that the site is not finding gravatar service, but I would doubt it since this is an ON/OFF setting (of course make sure it's on :P)
