  I was trying to sign up for an avitar through gravitar, and I put in the wrong email to register with, and now I cannot create a new option since it is still waiting for me to click on an email that it sent to the wrong email account. How do I fix this?

  A gravatar account is also a wordpress.COM account. Both are owned by Automattic Inc.

  There is a single email address that can be used on only one wordpress.COM username account and not on any others, regardless of how many blogs are registered under that username account.

  The wordpress.COM blog’s owner can change the relevant email address on their accounts page at https://wordpress.com/me/account at any time.
