Comments are now OpenID-enabled. And by OpenID-enabled, I mean I only take OpenID comments. It’s easy to register an OpenID account completely free, and many of you may already have one - AOL now supply one with every AIM screen name, every LiveJournal URL is an OpenID account, and so on.
The OpenID implementation I’m using is wpopenid, which allows you to pair multiple OpenIDs to WordPress accounts. I’m actually logged in with my URL’s OpenID right now instead of the WordPress credentials directly, if you can believe that.
If you want to know more about OpenID, you can’t really talk about OpenID these days without linking up Simon Willison - one of the creators of Django and thus a Python user, but otherwise perfectly respectable - who’s just been all over this stuff lately.
Just posting a comment.

I can post comments too! …Apparently.
For some reason, my LJ ID isn’t working (”server endpoint”?), but at least my AIM one seems to work.

According to http://www.livejournal.com/openid/, just using your URL should indeed work. I’m not sure what’s wrong.

MyOpenID seems to be working quite nicely. I suppose I should set that kind of stuff up so it uses my blog as the URL I enter at some stage.

If you can read this, posting with an LJ OpenID works.

There is an explanation here, http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=233, why OpenID might not work.

…and if you can read this, forwarding an LJ OpenID using YADIS works. Which it didn’t last time I tried it.
