"Now all we need is for you to implement the OpenID plugin for MT"*sigh*(raises hand)(admits)My switch to WP is already lonnng overdue. I'm hestitant to change anything substantial until then, given MT's unique ability to fall over the smallest plug-in.But well done for being well ahead of the curve on the Blogger thing.

Still in draft, but excellent, I approve. I especially like that they've sold it properly:"if you see an OpenID comment with the URL http://brad.livejournal.com/, you'll know that it was Brad who wrote that comment, and not an impostor."Now all we need is for you to implement the OpenID plugin for MT. OR for me to get off my arse and finally reset up the WP blogs I've got planned all using it as the only accepted commenting method.(Guess who had to click the forgotten password link for his typekey account, again)

MatGB – Almost a year later, that's exactly what Blogger.com is testing:http://bloggerindraft.blogspot.com/2007/11/new-fe...

Blogger should start supporting OpenID, Technorati already does, and I'm likely to switch my comments to OpenID only fairly soon (Typekey is an OpenID provider amongst others). There's an MT plugin for it as well, would be much appreciated y'know, could log in to comment here proving I'm the owner of my domain, not just a Typekey profile.Had never occured to me to put the 'other' thing in for a blogger profile, such a bad idea to allow it. But that's what you get when you allow different display names to login names.
