As you may have noticed, I have updated the Wordpress theme used on this site.  I have also made a few changes under the hood.  For example, I have enabled user registration and comments.  Users can register using OpenID.  If you haven’t heard of OpenID, it’s basically a way for you to log in to this site without a password.

This means that you can log into BlayneSucks and comment on posts using any of the following popular blogging credentials:

  • AOL — openid.aol.com/screenname
  • Blogger — blogname.blogspot.com
  • Flickr — www.flickr.com/photos/username
  • LiveJournal — username.livejournal.com
  • Technorati — technorati.com/people/technorati/username
  • Yahoo — http://openid.yahoo.com
  • WordPress.com — username.wordpress.com

All you have to do is put the URL listed into the OpenID box on the BlayneSucks log in page.  Furthermore, I have enabled Gravatars for users.  A Gravatar is a globally recognized avatar.  Basically, it’s a picture that follows your comments around from blog to blog.  You can sign up at http://en.gravatar.com/.

I hope you enjoy the new site look and feel as well as the ability to comment!
