Don’t panic, this is not a bug. This is what is called a “Gravatar“. You must create an account on the Gravatar website using the same email address you use to author posts/pages/etc on your WordPress site. Once you have a Gravatar account and an image associated with that account, you should see it show up in your theme automatically.

For more options, you can also go to the Avatars section of Settings > Discussion in the WordPress admin menu.

We recommend using the WP User Avatar plugin if you want to upload a custom avatar without using Gravatar.
