Not Forgotten, Part 2
I’ve haven’t been blogging much recently because I’ve been spend most of my spare time “fixing” the OpenID provider that I use. Fixing is in quotes because it worked everywhere except Blogger which, unfortunately, is where I use my identity the most. Google made several changes underneath the covers that altered the way people who don’t have a Google account were authenticated. It’s their service and they can do whatever they want; but it would have been much easier for me if they had published the changes somewhere. As it was, I had to figure out what they did through trial and error which was extremely frustrating. Anyway, once again, I can comment on everyone’s blog. So, look for a flood of comments from me this weekend.
BTW: I’m not sure that it matters much; but, since I was making changes, I have also added the capability for people to leave comments here on this site using their OpenID. I haven’t updated the template yet; but you don’t have to enter your name or email address if you use your OpenID since that is sent automagically by your provider.
