Hi everyone!

[liskantope]

Hi, this is the same Liskantope from Tumblr and Wordpress. (I want to use the gravatar that I have for those blogs, but there must be some technicality that I'm not getting because afaict it's showing up as a dark square. Is there any way just to use the gravatar associated to this email, which is the same one that I use for Tumblr and Wordpress?)

(I'm confused about some other aspects of the interface too, but hopefully I'll get the hang of it...)

For the moment, I'm mainly on here to keep up with the people I know from rat-adjacent Tumblr who are part of Rationalistdiaspora. And I figured that since I have a habit of starting new blogs on New Year's Day (btw happy 4th birthday to my tumblelog and happy 3rd birthday to my Wordpress blog!), I might as well make my first post here on the first day of 2019.

Happy New Year everyone!

Is the size or file type of the image a problem? Dreamwidth help had this to say about those issues.

I think this might be the problem -- thanks! My file size is 200x200, so maybe I need to shrink it by a factor of 2 and then things will work?

That should work. You might try converting formats to .png instead of .gif before you shrink it, just to prevent the speckling that comes with degradation. Gifs are bad about that.
