A friend commented in one my blog post to ask how did I enable the Open ID comment for my blog, actually I didn’t do anything but installed an excellent Open ID plugin: http://blog.verselogic.net/projects/wordpress/wordpress-openid-plugin/

They have a pretty good document, though they said that it’s not designed for Wordpress MU, I found it still works fine in my WPMU. (maybe some bugs but I not yet discovered)

OpenID is an open, decentralized, free framework for user-centric digital identity. Applications may use OpenID to assert ownership over a given identity url. The wpopenid plugin lets visitors to a Wordpress blog quickly register, login, and leave comments using their OpenID Identity.

Installation

Installation of the plugin is simple. Like any Wordpress plugin, decompress the contents of the archive into /wp-content/plugins/ and Activate the plugin via the administation plugin panel. This plugin does not require any modification of core files or templates.

Dependencies and Compatibility

The Wordpress OpenID Plugin is designed for use with Wordpress versions 2.0.3 through 2.1. It may work with other versions, feedback is welcome. It was not designed with WPMU in mind, though future revisions may address this.

I am true believer of Open ID, after more and more open source project support Open ID, the web applications gonna change.
