  Hi,
  I would like to post responses to comments on my posts as ‘Image Earth Blog’ not my profile name. I’ve looked through Settings and can’t find where to change this. Also, is it possible to replace my default profile photo that posts with my profile name, to an icon?

  Any help would be appreciated.
  Regards,
  Nilla

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Then you will have to change your display name or your username. Proceed with caution using these directions https://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/

  Fantastic timethief, thanks for your help again!
  I’m slowly working through all your suggestions above.

  I do have my favicon in an .ico file, but this is not acceptable so need to create another in a .jpg file.

  Hi again, I’ve changed my “Display Name” to “Image Earth Blog”. Will this auto change already posted comments on my blogs or will this only show on new comments?
