Leave Comment On Blogger Using OpenID

Do you know, now you are able to allow your readers/visitors to use OpenID to leave a comment. For those who still do not know what is OpenID, OpenID is a decentralized single sign-on system. That means, this system will only need users to register their username and password once, and that username and password can be used at any websites that support this system.OpenID is increasingly gaining adoption among large sites, with organizations like AOL and Orange acting as a provider.

As far as I know from my reading at Wikipedia, this system is fully functional in Mozilla Firefox 3.0 and a few other sites like Wordpress, AOL/AIM, LiveJournal and SixApart.You can see and view the full list of OpenID usage at OpenID Servers.

Just want you to know, this new system and feature is currently in testing phase and if you bloggers would like to giveit a try, just login to Blogger in Draft and then go to your blog Settings. Under comment tab, choose "Registered Users - includes OpenID" option. ( under Who Can Comment section ). Save Settings and you're done !
