Does it take a little while to work? I just created a gravatar icon for my CPAN email addy but nothing has magically appeared.
ReplyDeleteThe email address I have shown in my CPAN directory is not a cpan.org email address - as such the email address I have registered with gravatar.com is my personal address - but it is the same address as what is shown in my directory.
ReplyDeleteNothing has magically appeared for me either - is there something I need to do in order to have this show up?
I guess it takes a while - the images seem to be cached.

Yes it will take a while. Due to the slow nature of gavatar.com delivering the icons itself, we decided to deliver the icons from our own servers. But our cache is only updated once a day.

To make it clear which email address you must register at Gravatar - it should be your @cpan.org one.
ReplyDeleteEven if you display a different address on your cpan.org home page, as I do, register the @cpan.org address with Gravatar to make the photo appear.
Hope that helps.
