After a bit of mucking around, I’ve gotten OpenID working. Although as Meril says, free software is only free if your time is not money (although in a way, that’s also true of LJ), wordpress is not hard to use at all, as long as you just stick to the basics. I’m not a Comp Sci major or anything like that, so I didn’t have much prior knowledge; yet, I was able to resolve most of the general issues with the plugins and themes that came up. Many of the plugins are just plug n’ play. So, if you’re interested, I urge you to get on board so I can link to more people. XD (or, use <a href=”http://wordpress.com”>wordpress.com</a>. You won’t be able to install plugins, but there are many useful features.) Anyway, on the blog now, all you need to do is just comment with http://username.livejournal.com to trigger openID, I think. If you have any criticisms of or suggestions for the bloglayout etc., I’d be glad to hear them.

Ah well, I shall stop boring everyone with tales of wordpress. Next up:  some short JLit.
