adventures in blogger's openid support
Webjam 8 is announced. Awesome!
Need to register with OpenID. OK, well I signed up for one of the OpenID services a couple of years ago, but it was the least memorable URL in history and well, I can't even remember which service it was.
I do have a Blogger account though, which I can remember and should work for OpenID now: Blogger in Draft: New feature: Blogger as OpenID provider.
Awesome! My blog already has OpenID meta tags, so I bang in the URL.
Your blog is not supported for use as an OpenID URL. Please check the following: Is your blog externally hosted? OpenID is only supported for blogs hosted on Blogger...
Not awesome. I host my blog on my own domain. But wait! I can delegate to any blogspot-hosted blog: Blogger in Draft: Using Blogger’s OpenID with any URL
OK, so I need to make an extra blog on blogspot just for open ID. Not awesome, but hey it's their infrastructure. Hopefully they'll sort out the problem later anyway and I can delete it.
Add delegation meta tag to my real blog. Republish. Now my real blog is my OpenID URL.
Awesome.
Do you know much about Blogger's support for commenting via OpenID, in its various forms (1.0, 2.0, with / without delegation)?
@necaris: All I know is the broad detail stuff that the Blogger team have posted on the Blogger Buzz and Blogger in Draft blogs. That said, I've not done any digging - the fact that it works is enough for me at the moment :)
