So, over the weekend, I relaunched my blog on Node.js. I tried Tumblr, Blogger, Wordpress (hosted and self), Django, Rails and was just about to rebuild it in Sinatra when a friend suggested I just build it in Node. Of course! Why didn't I think of that?

I had been trying to decide what to do with comments. I like to give the ability to people to make comments but I just did not want to deal with keeping track of people's username, passwords, etc. Furthermore, I absolutely abhor CAPTCHA or anything of the sort. I got to thinking about using something like OpenID. The main problem I have with that is adoption. I don't want to make it hard for people to comment, but I don't want to deal with user info. Then I read Chris Shiflett write about using Twitter for comments and I knew that was the key for me.
