Personalize your profile

Add your avatar

Use Gravatar to host your profile icon. You may already have one if you have a WordPress account.

To add an avatar to your Profile:

1. Go to your profile (opens in new tab).
2. Click Edit profile or click your current avatar.
3. Click Update Gravatar image. This will direct you to Gravatar's website (external site, opens in new tab).
4. If you already have a Gravatar account, log in with WordPress.
   • If your WordPress email is the same as your primary Pluralsight email, choose an existing picture or add a new image and confirm your choice.
   • If your WordPress email is different from your primary Pluralsight email, add your primary Pluralsight email to your Gravatar account before setting a profile image. You will need to verify your email to complete this step.
5. If you don't have a Gravatar account associated with your primary Pluralsight email, create a free WordPress account using your primary email address and upload a profile picture.

Find additional help on the Gravatar help page (external site, opens in new tab).

Additional personalization to your profile

In your profile (opens in new tab), there are several ways you can further personalize your profile.

1. Add and edit your interests. Click the Interests link to choose the areas you want to focus on during your Skills learning journey. This will help us recommend content that is most relevant to your interests. You can also rank these interests in order of priority and choose how proficient you are in each skill. You can edit your interests at any time.
2. View and edit authors you follow. If you’ve followed any course authors, you'll see a link to a list of these authors at the top of your profile.

3. Share your profile. Click Share to share your profile to your favorite social media platform or copy a shareable link. If your profile is set to private, you’ll be prompted to make your profile public first. You can modify your profile’s privacy in more detail in your privacy settings.
