Just found out that if a user uses openID to comment on a blog entry, his/her ID is not hyperlinked. Kind of defeats the purpose of logging in via OpenID. After all that a +1 for SEO and social networking!

Hi Dario

Appreciate your looking into this issue. However, irrespective of whether the http exists, the problem still seems to manifest. I'm not sure if the problem rests with Blog module or with the Open ID itself

Here's some more issues that added to my grief last night ...

On the same lines, once a user is logged in, why is the Blog module asking for name again? And why is the Captcha still visible? Added to that, the OpenID module, during registration pre-fills FirstName: OpenID and LastName:User. I guess that makes the validation useless (even if somebody was ready to fill in his first name and last name. And, when a user provides an email address / website in his/her OpenID profile,  the default is still for Admin (not public); I guess that's probably why the Blog module is forced to show the URL as name wherein it actually should be a name hyperlinked to the URL.

I know I sound like a whiny sob and sorry about giving a "how it should be done rant.." but I sincerely hope and believe the Blog module can and will someday be at par with other Typepad *types*

+1 for my $PostCount

Thanks Dario

Your reply makes me feel much better. If you have gone through the links above, may I remove them (from my post above)?

Also, is there a place where you guys track feature requests? Can/Is Blog team accepting non-contributing members? Is there a place for future wish-lists?
