Well, as I get some more visitors who wish to post comments on this blog but do not know how to proceed, here is a short tutorial for using an google account or an OpenID.

1. click on the x comments link down a post

2. choose your profile method between google account or OpenID



3. having an google account?

Write you comment and click Post Comment button, enter your google login and password if asked (meaning you are not already logged in gmail or other google service)

3 (bis). You do not have an Google account, use an openID account?
