Blogger in Draft is now testing a new feature that enables bloggers to allow reader comments with OpenID, “a free and easy way to use a single digital identity across the Internet” used by millions of users and supported by thousands of sites. ["What is OpenID?" - OpenID.net]

To enable this feature for your blog, you will need to log onto Blogger in Draft here, and go to the Setting page of the blog you want to enable this feature. Then go to the Comments tab and check the “Registered Users - includes OpenID” option under “Who Can Comment?” Jump to the bottom, click “Save Settings” and you are done.

When commenting you will see the option to choose your identity as either a Blogger, AOL, TypeKey, WordPress, or Any OpenID user (and frequently allow to post anonymously). Comments that are posted with OpenID as the user’s identity will have a by the comment.

Good, WordPress.com doesn’t support this yet. And Matt Mullenweg, founder of WordPress, complains to the Blogger team, “Very cool! One request: Capitalize the P in WordPress.” :-)
