OpenID enabled
I wanted to use my website as an OpenID authentication source (I’m pretty sure I have OpenID through other public service providers, such as Yahoo! and LiveJournal, but no one with an ounce of sense should be relying on third party providers for his identity), and as usual the easiest way to do it was to install a WordPress plugin.
Incidentally, the plugin also provides for visitors to authenticate themselves using their OpenID from elsewhere (the website URL when you enter comment is the same URL that can be used for OpenID), so that’s for your use, if you please—practically, there’s no real difference; all comments are held for moderation anyway (how else would I squelch dissent in my little paradise?), and is not your self-described nick proof enough of your identity? But in any case, I just wanted to get on some bandwagon and the OpenID bandwagon seems to be a … convenient one.
Oh, BTW, for those of you who hesitated on making an account, well, now you actually can’t make an account without a valid OpenID. Don’t you wish you had done it earlier?
