Here are some of the ways to have an account and a user icon here:

1. You can register for a DIsqus account. Then you can use it here and on any account that uses this commenting system. Go to the link below for an account or click the icon beside your name on your comment and that will allow you to register and claim all the comments you've made so far. Then when you want to sign in you just click that button that says Disqus under Add New Comment.
