Double Good News!
It is with great happiness that I inform everyone of these news tidbits.
First: I have been struggling with my practice exams, with the Superman class exam consistently knocking me on my arse.
It is with great delight that I inform you of my passing that practice exam on Sunday. 
I am currently waiting for my paperwork in the mail, so that I can move on to take the state level exam for becoming a [tag]Life Insurance[/tag] agent.
Second: This one pertains mostly to you LiveJournalers, and anyone else that participates in OpenID.
Thanks to the WPOpenID plugin, I am now able to support users using OpenID for comments.
I’ll need to update my comment form slightly to show support there, but for now, please use the sidebar to log in via [tag]OpenID[/tag]. You may comment this way, with relative ease.

The wrong plugin
>> 2
Having navigated the nightmare of LinkSafe (which appears to have a broken OpenID implementation, by the way) and seeing that their centralized ‘I-names’ require a monetary investment…
Exactly HOW am I using the “wrong plugin” ?
I think you want this plugin:

I have that plugin, Scott. I really do. Interestingly enough, the project doesn’t link back to Verselogic, which makes it a tad harder for me to attribute them when I’m writing.
I had been updating the plugin from Sourceforge for months, until I got a usable version (right in time for WordPress 2.1, at that).
Today, I’ve experienced more grief over the damn thing than I have over (get this) PayPerPost.
oid:damnian up there mentions that the thing doesn’t work properly with i-names, which I hadn’t even heard of until THIS MORNING.
I ended up getting a free i-name and testing. It does have some bugs in it, though it seems to be more on the backend, rather than on the blog itself.
