After years of resisting it, I’ve added the least evil Twitter/Facebook comments plugin I could find to this blog as a test and updated the comments policy a little.
Please kick the tyres and try commenting to see if it works, phase.

Testing from a different address myself 🙂
Big ****book and tw@er buttons? Dammit, where’s OpenID? This kind of homage to Our Overlords who have Enclosed the Commons is not what I expect from a Geek!
Aha, hiding in a row of tiny buttons masquerading as a bit of colourful decoration. Yeah, but that’s still not OpenID, it’s just a bunch of providers.
Oh, erm, there’s a kind-of tiny OpenID button hidden in the middle. OK, well, I already selected WordPress, so that’ll do.
Aaargh! The wordpress/openid doesn’t appear to work! That is to say, when I hit “Post it” it insists I enter my name separately below.
Drat – there might be a funny interaction between the openID and fb/twitter plugins. I’ll look into it. Are you sure your openID provider returns your name?
Trying it from Yahoo’s openid. How’s this? Not so good. The ‘or’ is a lie – it want’s me to fill in everything anyway
“Are you sure your openID provider returns your name?”
Yes. I’ve used it before, including on your blog (albeit some time ago).
But it was something clientside that insisted on my name. When the clientside stuff finally let me submit, WordPress/OpenID prompted me for whether I wanted to trust your site with my identity. So it appears to be running some OpenID client but not using the identity provided!
I’ll try with OpenID again now. If it works you’ll see my ugly mugshot. If not I’ll fill in that form again.
This is a test comment with what I think is one of my openIDs. So I think this is working now.
