And this is OpenID enabled for commenting, written , and concerning OpenID, Web
OK, I believe you can now use your OpenID to comment here, if you have one.
I used the Wordpress OpenID plugin by Hans to make it happen, and I have to applaud him on how easy it was to implement. I personally had to add the OpenID login box to my theme pages myself, because they're extensively customised, but I just followed the README and it explained it in perfect detail. If you're using a theme that resembles the Wordpress default then apparently it all Just Works for you, which is even nicer.
Oh, and I stole the description of what an OpenID is from Simon. Nice one Simon.
It's good, this OpenID stuff. I'm going to do more with it.
(Update: originally I was worried that OpenID commenting here wouldn't work properly with the comment editing that I've recently built, but I've since fixed that. Comment away, with OpenID or not, and edit your comments as you please.)

Right, I'm fixing the damned problem now, then.

OK, I believe it's now fixed and it works.

Let's see if it works, then.
Edit1: testing edit.
Edit2: By Jove! I think he's got it!

However, the edited comments aren't being reformatted into paragraphs.
So Drew says, anyway. Let's take a look at that.
This should be another line.
And indeed it is.
You have to leave a whole blank line, it appears, to get a new paragraph. That's the way WP works; it's not an issue with my editing. Phew!

Thanks. I am waiting for a more widespread use of OpenID.

Hi, it works for me too.

[...] So, almost a one login anywhere solution. I can now post comments on LJ and various other people’s blogs without having to have accounts at all these places. I have to thank LugRadio presenter Aq for enabling it on his blog and making me read up about it. Now if only I can get the plugin working correctly on my site all other OpenID people would be able to comment and get the cool logo by their name, also giving people a link back to their blog. [...]

Nice to see that OpenID gets some more adoption

Woohoo for OpenID

Testing OpenID myself.

I want a nice logo next to my name too. I like the editing thing too.
Although I'm not sure I want to logout at Word Press. And it wouldn't work when I wanted to submit and subscribe at the same time: it hung on the "Submitting comment" button. The normal submit comment button seems OK though.

Tom: I'm working on giving everyone a little logo.
As regards the logging in thing...yeah. There are some issues with the OpenID plugin I'm using. I may need to write my own, which I was hoping to avoid :(

Coo, OpenID.
I should get around to finishing my half implemented doobry...

Thanks for prompting me to set-up an OpenID account for myself, and setting-it up on my blog. Hope this works...

Looks like it works!

[...] Like Aq has for his site, I’ve enabled OpenID for comments on this site. You can now use your OpenID to leave comments, although I’d welcome feedback about any problems you come across. I’ve used the WPOpenID+ plugin for WordPress and there are a few limitations. For example it doesn’t handle redirects in your OpenID URL. However, I’ll keep an eye on development and make sure any bug fixes are applied. [...]

Okay then, let's give it a test. Hooray for OpenID.
(Edit: I think it worked!)
(Edit2: as predicted, edits work but I can't see them)
