If you use the url for a blog that you are not an admin of, you will see "You do not own that identity." If you get that message and you think it in error, let me know.

Hi Ryan,
I get that message when trying to comment on a livejournal blog, that I am not an admin of, even though I am logged in with that identity!

Does the problem lie with wordpress' implementation or with Open ID itself (it is not a part of or associated with Automattic or wordpress)? I don't know. And now I simply don't care. All I wanted to do is use it for commenting on a few blogger blogs, but since it was so sporadic, I simply started using my Google sign-in information instead. Problem solved.

It is only when he attempted the W.P. option that he encountered this pain in the butt sign in. BUT I think I may be able to help with the original problem because open I.D. is the best option.
When I used O.I.D. I never used to used the preview option but posted my comment directly, I will bet a pound to a penny all you guys do the same and was 8 times out of 10 tharted at that point, well I made the WONDEROUS discovery that if you click the preview option 1st and then post your comment it goes through as sweet as your... um your...well anyway it goes through sweetly. I hope this is helpful even if it doesn't help with the W.P. problem. :)

That is as clear as mud. I'm no accomplished person on a computer, but I do have a good standard of commonsense and I am totally unable to use Open ID, even with your 'explanation' above! Why on earth don't we admit it; Open ID with WordPress.com simply does not work!

My OpenID, for example, is ryan.wordpress.com. wordpress.com, foo.wordpress.com, bar.wordpress.com, etc. are not valid.

Don't hoist a crappy "log-in" system if you aren't going to maintain it or answer questions about what's going wrong with it. I suddenly feel like a developer for WordPress a year ago. Silence from the upper echelons does not instill good will in your customers.

It suddenly popped up for me today, and now I can't log-in to comment on one of my favorite blogs. It's very disappointing that this issue has not been fixed.

I have been studiously ignoring the infernal Open ID as it is considerably worse than utterly useless. Now, however, I can't even sign in to Technorati to register this blog, as it seems that it must be done thro' Open ID which DOES NOT WORK!!! Surely to goodness WordPress.com are better than this? Yes/No?

I choose WordPress and the dialog box asks for my WordPress blog address (http://inkypinkies.wordpress.com) but when I type it, it says I have to log in...but I already AM logged in (I have a browser tab open to my own blog)and it doesn't give me any other option for logging in. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong... but what? Is there something more that I should add to the URL?

Thanks for any advice.
