OpenID access to Dreamwidth
Livejournal users can use their Livejournal identities to log into Dreamwidth through this page. The process sends you back to Livejournal's site to verify your LJ cookies; then it allows you to create a sort of lightweight account that can't publish journal entries but can set up a "reading page" (their equivalent to a friends list), write comments, and so on. Importantly, people with regular accounts can grant read-locked-entries access to OpenID accounts, so you can use it to keep reading the locked entries on your friends' journals even if they migrate to Dreamwidth and you don't.

I'm mentioning this here because at the moment I only have two readers, there aren't likely to be many more of my friends making it onto the system with full accounts until May, and I crave attention. :-)

Ok, but now I'm expecting you to use some OpenID of yours to log in to kiwano.melon.org (even though all the content there is still testing rather than actual migration).

What, on the OpenID login page? That's strange, it works for me, and I know you're getting in one way or another. Are you using a different URL? Or did you hit last night's shutdown?

I clicked on the link you posted and got a 404! But then again, maybe it was the shutdown, since it does look like it might have been.

ETA: Yes, it works now. Probably the shutdown, then.
