All, being well, this blog should now be running on Movable Type 4.24, the latest version of the software, released last week.
And talking of outside services, Facebook Connect is here! You can use your Facebook account to sign into this blog to comment by clicking "sign in to comment" and choosing the Facebook Connect option. It should both grab your userpic and push your comment into your profile on Facebook - but it's still a beta plugin, so we'll see...
While doing that, I made a few other changes:
- Userpics on comments are bigger! They also have little icons on them to show if the commenter is using an outside service like OpenID, Livejournal or Vox to sign in. If you don't want to use any of the sign-in services, but want a pretty comment icon, get a Gravatar.
- People using outside authentication service now get the "subscribe to comments via e-mail" option. Should have done that ages ago, sorry.

I couldn't get my facebook connect to work with MT4.25. How did you do it?
I just followed the instructions that come with the plugin - they're in the plugin folder. Setting up the Facebook app is the key thing.
That said, I clearly don't have the icon thing worked out yet.
Hi Adam,
I managed to get it working with MT4.25 now. I refresh all the template and follow the readme file that came with the plugin. Everything works fine for safari and firefox, however It doesn't work for IE. the blue facebook connect button does not show up.
Did you make any modification or it just work fine for you?
