OpenID Authentication Supported Here

| 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks
I recently enabled OpenID authentication to simplify posting comments on my blog. Prior to enabling OpenID, you would have to sign up for an account and subject yourself to email verification before you could post a comment. That process was not user friendly and likely discouraged commenting.

openid-icon.pngMovable Type, the blog software used here, has OpenID support built into the core product. I simply checked the box on the blog administration screen to enable it as documented here. The folks at Movable Type have composed a nice summary on OpenID available here.

Visit www.myOpenID.com to setup your OpenID account and then post a comment here to let me know how you like it.
