OpenID support

Posted in Blog, Colophon on June 5th, 2006

I’ve added OpenID support for comments — meaning that you can log in as a LiveJournal user, and if you’re already logged in at your LiveJournal page, you’ll share the same identity. Aside from LiveJournal, not too many places are using it yet, but it is a neat idea.

I’ve yet to figure out how to customize my own Nickname when I post to other sites, but hey.

I just added the Wordpress plugin “OpenId Comments 0.9.1″ — I’m not claiming I did any actual work. We’ll see if it works, then go from there.

Updated to 2.01

I gutted and directly screwed with our databases, and with negligible downtime I’ve updated Mandrina’s and my blogs with the newest version of Wordpress.

See any difference?

No? Then I did my job right.

What’s this site running?

So I think it’s interesting what pieces I cobbled together to get this site running…

  • Wordpress is the primary software
  • Multiply, a multi-user plugin that kinda works for Wordpress
  • a bit of hand editing .htaccess — mostly RewriteRules.
  • a bit of hand editing of the siteurl option setting for Wordpress
  • Time
  • Patience
  • Luck

And special thanks to my lady, Mandrina feeling jealous of her best friend back home.
