Re: [Hampshire] Registering on the WordPress website

[Chris Dennis]

OK, I've opened up user registration on the WordPress site 
http://hantslug.org.uk


Now all you have to do is click on the 'Register' link in the right-hand 
Admin section.


Registration is protected by a 'captcha' thingy to (hopefully) keep out 
the bots.  Then you'll have to check your email to get the initial password.


You can also register via your Google, Yahoo, or WordPress.com id.  (And 
hopefully Twitter later if I can get that bit to work.)


Have fun!

cheers

Chris

Re: [Hampshire] Registering on the WordPress website

I never set a mailman password, and think that the effort of sharing
passwords is unlikely to be worth the effort.

I'm not sure how to simplify WordPress logins, maybe only giving draft and
comments access by default? OpenID helps as you can then just use a Google
address or similar.

Thanks,
Anton
