OpenID doesn't work
-
I’ve raised this complaint before, and the topic has been closed without reply. How can it be fixed? My open ID has never given access when trying to comment on Blogger of even other WordPress blogs.

I’m sorry we cannot help with Open ID. it has always failed to work for me more frequently than it worked so I abandoned using it at all.
WordPress.com recognizes your blogger identity but Blogger does not. In reference to Blogger ie. commenting on blogspot blogs the issue is on the other end. Blogspot software assumes we all have a single username here at wordpress.com and only a single blog by the exact same matching name. It will not accept any other URL – invalid URL! it says. Ha!
So if we have a domain, or we have more than one blog registered under the same WordPress.com username, trying to comment and have it link to our wordpress.com blogs becomes impossible, unless the blogspot blogger chooses to enable commenters to post with a username and URL on their Blogger blog.
The only workaround is to register a Blogger blog which will allow you to comment but your username will not be linked to your WordPress.com blog when you do. Then you are labeled as a ‘no reply blogger’. It’s crazy-making!
Bottom line: This is a well known issue. If you simply use the Name/URL option when it’s provided by the blogspot blogger then your blog will be linked to your username on the comments you leave on blogspot blogs.
