    The documantation says:

    The “About Me” widget has an optional MailChimp sign up box. If you’d like to use it, you’ll need to paste your MailChimp API key and the List ID into the fields provided. You can get both of these items from inside your MailChimp account.

    But on my site, the MailChimp sign up box is always visible, no matter if there is something in the “Newsletter Name” field of the widget, or not.

    Further it would be nice to have a way, to use an self hosted image, and not a gravatar hosted image.

    Best,

    Marc,

    Thank you for your business first of all.

    It looks like you uncovered a bug in the about widget. I’ve uploaded a new version of the theme. You can also make the edit yourself. Here’s how:

    1. Go to the appearance section and select edit to open up the theme editor.
    2. From the list of files on your right, choose widget-about.php.
    3. Look for this section (on line 104):
      
      if (!empty($instance['newsletter_name']))
           echo '
      '. $instance['newsletter_name'].'
      '; get_template_part( 'includes/newsletter' );
    4. Replace that with this:

    5. Save your changes.

    That should make the newsletter optional again.


    Avatars
    There is a plugin called Simple Local Avatars that can handle local file uploading for your user account. It will allow you to add an image for yourself without having to use the Gravatar service.

    If you have any other questions or trouble, please feel free to ask.

    Thanks,
    Bill
