In honesty, it doesn't matter if you register and than apply or apply and than register. As long as you've posted the form, so I know what name to look for, and there's an account for me to approve, it's all right. (Just make sure you've read everything, as you can only use your email address once and the approval gets sent to your email.)
The guidelines were more to give you something to follow so you don't forget anything. ^^
