Yesterday, in addition to <a
href="http://buzz.blogger.com/2008/01/three-new-languages-and-whole-new.html">launching
Blogger in three new languages</a>, we pushed out a draft feature: <a
href="http://bloggerindraft.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-feature-blogger-as-openid-provider.html">Your
blog is your OpenID</a>. Technically, this means that Blogger is both
an OP and an RP; we've accepted OpenID signed comments since December.<br>
<br>
We've implemented OpenID 1.1 so far, so we should be compatible with
all OpenID 1.1 RPs. Please test it out (see <a
href="http://bloggerindraft.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-feature-blogger-as-openid-provider.html">instructions
for opting in</a>) and let us know if you see problems.<br>
<br>
It's also great to see <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/openid/">Yahoo</a>
<a
href="http://blogs.computerworld.com/yahoo_joins_the_openid_party_and_errord">announcing</a>
that they'll be an OpenID 2.0 Provider. I hope they implement RP
support soon too, at least for things like Flickr comments.<br>

Enjoy!<br>
