A Final Reminder – Vote

[cahwyguy]

If you are an American Citizen… a final reminder… please remember that one of the benefits of citizenship is the ability to select our leaders and decide the direction for our government. Today, you have that ability… an ability to do something that many people in the world do not have the ability to do… an ability that many have give their lives to defend so that you can do it. Don’t waste it .. get out there and vote.

If you need help, you can find my positions on all the ballot candidates and propositions here (state propositions), here (federal offices), and here (state and local offices and local measures).

To those of you who are not citizens…. just be thankful that much of the craziness will be over by tomorrow. We thank you for your patience.

Speaking of commenting problems on WordPress, I've gotten a rather weird error when trying to make a comment on your journal (twice now). I have a WP account, and gave used it to comment elsewhere, but when I try to comment on your post, first I get a message that I need to log in - so I go and do that (in a separate tab). Then I go back to your WP page (in a new tab), try to log in again - and I get the message "you do not own this account". I think what's happening is when I click the WP button before commenting, it is trying to log me in as you. I have no idea why, but maybe that's part of the commenting issue?

Interesting... I'm using the Social Login plug-in to handle those logins. When I get a chance (perhaps over lunch), I"ll log out and attempt to log in with Wordpress to see if I get the same error. If I do, I'll report it to the folks at oneall (who do Social Login) to see if they can figure it out.

I still haven't heard back from Dreamwidth on their OpenID problem either.

I just tested it from my end, and I did the same thing, and got the same message: "You do not own that identity.". I've sent a note to my contact at oneall -- the message is surprisingly similar to the message I got with Dreamwidth.

(Yes, I have an account on wordpress as well).

I heard back from the folks at Social Login regarding Wordpress:

to be able to login with your WordPress.com account you need a blog at WordPress.com

I have for example created this test blog: http://sclaudes.wordpress.com.
I'm now able to login by using sclaudes.

If you get the error You do not own that identity then you don't have the corresponding blog under wordpress.com

Hrm. That's not quite it - I was trying to use my wordpress.com account, and was already logged in there (glasserkitchen, for future reference). I'm trying to log in over on your blog as I work this out :)

Part of the problem: when I log into WP, I use the ID GlasserKitchen (note the caps) - and WP insists I use the caps version, or won't log me in.

For AllOne, I have to make it all lower case. That gets me to the pop-up for login via WP, which I approved to always log me in to your site. Then the popup goes to a blank page (ie, it doesn't bring me back to your page where I started). ah, and I think I see the problem - the URL in the popup that is now blank? Ends with "return_to", but doesn't have anything beyond that (no URL to go to).

Ah, it may also be browser related - the above problem is in Chrome. When I use Firefox, it pops me right in (now). I'll clear cookies, restart Chrome, and see what happens next.

Gah, I guess it shows I'm willing to troubleshoot, despite not being a programmer and knowing darn little HTML :)

Yeah, seems to be a problem in Chrome redirecting back to the blog (there's an incomplete redirect URL). Works in Firefox, though (once I figured out the user error ;))
