OpenID installed!

Now that I have the comments working (the problem was caused by the theme I was using) I now have installed a really cool little plugin. It allows you to login to the site with an OpenID to post a comment. Many of us have an OpenID thought a service that we already are a member of. Most notably are Yahoo, AOL and Flicker however there are many more on the list.

I encourage you to register locally on the site if you wish. That feature is working and even preferred so that I have a more complete profile of you. That’s nice when looking at comment posts.

If you decide to use the OpenID approach, please have a look at your profile before posting. Some OpenId providers such as Yahoo will give you a name about 3 characters long full of gibberish. It doesn’t look nice and I can’t credit you with comments if I need to.

Now the next step in this process is to get the theme fixed. I am really torn because I love the theme I was using but don’t really want to invest much time in repairing it. I plan to use Chris’ social media theme that he is working on for his site. At this time he has said that he plans to make it free for everyone’s use.

Kudos for taking the time to enable OpenID, I logged in with my http://myVidoop.com OpenID and it was super smooth. Pretty sure all my profile info got filled in properly as well.

Cheers!

That is great! Smooth as a whistle. JanRain created this great code to make OpenID logins ever easier. If you are interested, it is called IDSelector and it makes it so people don’t have to remember their ID provider’s URL (eg. http://xxxx.myopenid.com). All they have to remember is who their provider is and what their user name is. Check it out. https://www.idselector.com/
