OpenIDs are here!

// January 22nd, 2010 // Mark's stuff

I’m happy to report that berserko.org has now caught up to the times a bit and supports OpenIDs for login (to the web site only – sorry, doesn’t work for email) and commenting. The comments system now runs on Disqus, which is a very cool commenting system that works Internet wide – not just on this site.  I highly recommend you set up a Disqus account for yourself if you have not already.

Besides allowing OpenIDs for login, berserko.org is also a provider of OpenIDs (using the excellent MyOpenID system on the backend).  It takes me all of about thirty seconds to set up a new OpenID, so if you’d like one, let me know.  If you’re new to the OpenID concept, there’s a good overview of it at openid.net.  The idea is that you have one ID that you can use to log into any of the thousands of websites that support OpenID without having to create a new username and password everytime.
