There wasn't any advantage in using the default local WP registration system for users to identify themselves (my site is just too small) and I was just getting a lot of spambots signing up anyway. I like that OpenID makes local registration unnecessary but allows people to identify themselves consistently. I use OpenID at my WP blog too.

For this we use the plugin from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/wpopenid/" title="OpenID Plugin for Wordpress" rel="nofollow">Sourceforge</a>. It works very well! Another advantage of the plugin is, that you can tie OpenID-Identities to an existing Wordpress account. So you can either login with your username/password-combination or your OpenID-Account.

I have implemented them and will see how it goes :-) It would be great to have openid for commenting. Implementing that means users get registered on my blog. That means I am creating a database of users. Which is good. Will the users take off from there? It will be interesting to see the users/readers perspective on that. Cheers!

Currently I use my blog URL as OpenID and support OpenID in the comments. I think we can really make it mainstream, it really helps me as a user.

I'd like to actually see some sort of support built in for it, so my Livejournal friends can just pop over, use their LJ credentials to authenticate, and comment away, without having to fill out the form fields each time to just say a few words. I'm using the VerseLogic plugin, but it's just a bit broken, here and there. I’ve been wanting, and waiting for WordPress to actually catch the heck up with OpenID.

That is, I still use anonymous (moderated) posting, but OpenID gives my commentators a chance to bypass that. Unfortunately, I've not seen it in practice yet. I've used my own OpenID authentication on other sites (primarily LJ), but no one has shown any interest in reciprocating. I agree that it could potentially be a great thing - it just has to catch on first. I’ve actually implemented OpenID in my comment system for added support for other logins.
