If you are asking how to add one to your account here, then you need to get a Gravatar account set up. http://en.gravatar.com/

Once you have that, there is a link in your member account panel to link to your Gravatar account.

Gravatar enabled sites don’t need any configuring or settings. The link on the My Account page just takes you to the Gravatar site so you can sign up or change your photo if you like. We use your email address to find your Gravatar, so just be sure to use the same address for that as you do freewaytalk, and it will just work.

thanks, guys.

well, i did what you suggested: set up an account with gravatar, went back to my account settings here and clicked on the link “update tour gravatar” (which took me back to gravatar’s site) but nothing changed in my account or on the posts i have made. at least so far; perhaps it takes some time to have any effect.

The link on the My Account page is just that – a link to Gravatar
where you can set up or update your settings with that service.
Gravatar is configuration-free from the Web side of things. Each place
where an icon might appear, we send an API request to the Gravatar
server containing an encoded version of your e-mail address. If the e-
mail matches a Gravatar, then it is returned, and displayed.

There are numerous caches in between to keep this from being a network-
intensive thing, so there may be a time lag until those various caches
“stale out”.
