Manage your online identity.

Some very cool adoption news from the folks at Google: OpenID-based commenting will be rolled in to Blogger and Blogspot blogs.  The news comes from the Blogger in Draft blog, which has details and links.

If you’ve got a Blogspot blog and would like to enable OpenID commenting, you’ll need to log in to your account at http://draft.blogger.com (hat tip David Recordon).  Once there, you can enable OpenID commenting by browsing to Settings -> Comments, and enable “Registered Users.”  One very clear drawback here is that by placing your blog in “Registered” mode, you may no longer accept Anonymous comments.  That should be fixed by the Blogger team; OpenID commenting exists within an ecosystem that values the spectrum of identity, from anonymity to full-verification.
