[OpenID] Changes to the website coming soon ...

[David Recordon]

Byrne said what I meant far better than I did.  Yes, I do think that  
we could still get this done in time even moving to Movable Type 4,  
but it sounds like the community would rather move forward with  
Wordpress this time around.  :)

No matter the product, I too am really looking forward to a new  
website come Monday...and being able to add Oklahoma to the list of  
states I've visited.
