I gave up.
Gravatar didn’t read the email I sent them, but they did respond. They told me to do exactly what I’d told them I’d already done.
So I told them that. They emailed back (actually this time within a few minutes) and said try logging into WordPress.com.
So I tried to log into WordPress. No go. First, logging in, I get “No such user.” Then I try to set up a new account and get “That user already exists. Log in.” Try logging in, and I get “No such user.” Try “Forgot password” and enter username, and I get “No such user”. Enter email address and I get “No such email address in the system.”
Back to the logic that surely No Such User means I can create that user account. Nope. That user already exists. “Did you forget your password?”
By now there’s enough of my hair on the floor to donate to Susan’s hair donation lens.
So I gave up and entered a different username to sign up with. And voila! Activate the link, open up Gravatar and I’m already signed in under that name. Upload an avatar, open SquidTop, refresh a couple of pages… and here I am. Under the wrong username, but at this stage who gives a continental two-bit hoohah.

OK, what’s really cracking me up is the tags on this guy.
(BTW, just for reference, I actually found this post because it showed up in my Google alert this morning on hair donation. You got indexed pretty quickly!)

Oh, and how are you guys doing those “signatures” on your posts? Are you copying that in every time or is there a widget somewhere I’m missing?

– That’s good to know!
“Oh, and how are you guys doing those “signatures†on your posts? Are you copying that in every time or is there a widget somewhere I’m missing?”
– On your dashboard, click on Widgets, then Gravatar. Under Author Profile Box, type in your signature line, and check the box. Click Update Gravatars. Note that it will also then add whatever you have written under Users, Your Profile, About Yourself, so you might want to check that it’s not going to be a duplicate.
