Gravatar = Globally Recognized Avatar.

In the Email address field, put the email address you are using in Gopsop.com and click on the Signup button.

It will tell you on the next page that Confirmation email sent to the given email address and if you did not receive the mail in next 24 hours, contact with them on the given email address on that page. Check your mail. If you did not get the mail in your Inbox, then please do check Junk/Bulk/Spam folder too. This mail may get into that folder.

A mail bearing the subject “Welcome to Gravatar” will be there with an activation link. Just follow the link by clicking on the link or copy the link to your browser’s address bar and go.

You will get a form asking your Nickname and password. Use any Nickname you like to use, but you cannot use any special characters or space in that field. Only lowercase alphabets and numbers are allowed. Put any password you want to us in both password fields and click on the Signup button.
