First step, you need a SQRL client, and it needs to be installed and configured with your identity. When you are done with that step, you will have chosen a password to unlock your identity when prompted. (And a shortened version of that password will be used as your Quick Unlock.)
Now go to the site https://sqrl.grc.com/ which should look something like this:
(NOTE: Aspects of the site REQUIRE Javascript... make sure it's enabled.)
You should see a Register link (Step 1). There may also be a welcome banner with a signup link that you could use (step 1a).

If you are using a desktop SQRL client, click the button with the

After authorizing the use of your SQRL client by entering your password, something a bit strange will happen. The page you last saw will change and you will be on a new page. It may seem like you've had a failure, but this is as expected. (What happened in the background is that the SQRL client contacted the site, realized you didn't already have an account, and the site securely sent back a URL (hidden from you, using the SQRL CPS feature) that you will use to finish signing up.) This is what you should see:
Note that you are on the "Create New Account" page (step 1).
You will need to choose a unique handle to be visible with your posts (step 2). This is how the other site users will know you (this will also be your reputation on the site.)
Note that the email address is optional (step 3).
Check the box after you check out the terms and the privacy policy (step 4).
