Comments and OpenID
so I think I got comments working here... so if you're reading this, please post a comment to test it out! (it'll make me feel important)
the system will make you log in, but it turns out you can use this thing called "OpenID", and if you use AIM (among other things), you already have one. In the AIM case, it's just openid.aol.com/screenname.
the idea of a single username everywhere you go on the net is interesting, and might be especially good for things like random blogs (like mine) where you don't want to make an account, but the maintainer of the blog (like me) would be annoyed at removing comment spam otherwise. let's see if it takes off...
Seems like it works well. I like OpenID, as you say, in many cases it makes a lot of sense.
Hey, Dominic, long time, no see/hear... look at you all MT and commenty! ;-) Happy holidays...
