About Google Accounts: Basic information Google Accounts is a unified sign-in system that gives you access to:
- Free Google products, including iGoogle, Gmail, Google Groups, Picasa, Web History, and more.
- AdWords and Google Checkout.
If you use Gmail, sign in with your Gmail username.
If you don't have a Google Account, you can create one now.
You can use your current email as your sign in name but you will have to "register" it with Google Accounts. It's okay...it's free...you are not signing up for something or falling into a scam. It is just their way of tracking who uses their "Goggle Products".
A note about Gmail: When you sign up for Gmail, you get a Google Account that gives you access to all of the Google products mentioned above. Just enter your Gmail username and password when you're asked to sign in. Although creating a Google Account won't automatically give you Gmail, you can add Gmail to your existing account at any time. Gmail won't replace your current email address; however, it will become your primary address on your Google Account. But you don't have to sign up for a Gmail in order to sign up on Goggle Accounts...
Here is the Goggle Account Sign up page if you do not have a Goggle Account already-

I do not have a Gmail Account myself but because I have several blogs and registered, I am recognized and able to post comments. Hope this helps! Once you set up your Goggle Account, select the Goggle platform for comments and post.
