One Can Leave His Blog URL in Blogger Comments Even With OpenID
The OpenID feature is now live for all blogs hosted on Blogger. That means if you were to leave a non-anonymous comment on any Blogger blog, you either need an OpenID or a Google Account.
Even with OpenID, you can very easily add your Blog URL while writing comments on Blogger blogs. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Step 1. Get an OpenID at myopenid.com
(if you pick “example” as a user name, your OpenID URL becomes example.myopenid.com)
Step 2: Open your Blogger template and add the following lines of code in the <head> section:
<link href=”http://www.myopenid.com/server” rel=”openid.server” />
<link href=”http://example.myopenid.com” rel=”openid.delegate” />
(replace “example” with your own user name created in Step 1)
Now if you were to write a comment on any Blogger Blog, just type your own Blog URL in the OpenID field. It’s actually more convenient.

Amit, it’s not working for me. First try to install the html i got error, then i parsed the code and it worked. When i try to publish comment and fill myopenid field with my blog address, i found an ‘Incorrect OpenID url’.
Did i miss something?
Ed: Make sure you have the right OpenID address in your blog HTML code.
Amit, could this be the reason of the problem I have been facing about comment button not showing (posted in forum)? Also today the header of my blog has changed/reverted to an old one its own! It is spooky.
Ed: This should not have any affect on your Comment button. I consider removing your comment button from the template, save and then again add the comment link. May be that could work.
Two wordpress.com users are upset, oh noes.
It’s a lot easier for people to be outraged than actually try it.
Double Quotes gave a parsing error for me.. But single quotes worked fine.. :)
