End-user help

This is a draft/beginning of some end-user help for Growstuff members using the site.

User pics
Our icons/userpics are handled by Gravatar, a third-party site that provides globally accessible avatars based on your email address. If you have previously signed up for Gravatar with the same email address as your Growstuff account, you should automatically have a pic on your profile. If not, you will most likely see a unique geometric design that is generated by Gravatar based on your email address, which serves as a placeholder.

If you have never signed up for Gravatar before
Go to http://gravatar.com/, sign up there using the same email address as Growstuff, and upload a pic. Your picture will automatically appear on Growstuff.

If you have different email addresses for Growstuff and Gravatar
Go to http://gravatar.com/, sign in with the address you usually use there, and add your Growstuff email address to your account. You will probably have to confirm it. After this, your picture should appear on Growstuff.
