Hey Look, Blogger Got Smart…

I think my rather caustic e-mail to Blogger HQ must have worked, seeing as they’ve decided to allow other non-blogger users to sign in. *g*

commenting is now available for all Blogger blogs. This means that your friends and readers can leave authenticated comments on your blog using their blog URLs from OpenID-enabled services such as WordPress.com, LiveJournal, and AOL Journals, or with their AOL/AIM accounts.

We’ve chosen a few popular OpenID providers to highlight on the comments form, but OpenID is, well, “open”! You can use any OpenID service to post a comment by choosing “Any OpenID” and filling in your OpenID URL.

Does this mean that you don’t have to have a Googlemail account to subscribe to comments I wonder?

Anyhoo, the wisest decision they’ve made for a while, as a lot of Blogger users were about to revolt.

    Ha! I should have known it was too good to be true, I’ve got boxes with red crosses all over the damn place!

    *checking to see if I can leave a comment*

    By the way… if/when you move, please leave a bread crumb trail?

    The new way is a pain in the tail, but it’s better than it was.

    I still like WordPress better than blogger.

    Way too lazy to have a blog, so the nickname sign in is easier for me. But whatever, I’ll follow the breadcrumbs wherever they may lead, because you are always entertaining.

    Hmmm. It doesn’t appear that you can subscribe via email to follow-up comments. But I could always be missing something.
