I use the k2 theme for this wordpress blog. I used to write my own, but k2 is much, much neater. I also use the openid plugin for wordpress. (I wrote about openid’s before)
To get the two to play together, you need to turn off live commenting.
In my case, as my blog is also my openid url (see this tutorial in delegating your open id if you want to use your blog or website as your openid url, and any provider), I had to add some code the the k2 style’s functions.php
add_action('wp_head', 'custom_header');
function custom_header () {
?>
<link rel="openid.server" href="...openid provider url..."/>
<link rel="openid.delegate" href="...openid provider url..."/>
<?php
}
Now you have your own blog as your openid url, and your blog accepts openid’s for comments with the k2 theme 
So, as there is a new version of Wordpress (2.5.1) which has some serious security fixes, I thought I would move my blog to running from svn. This doesnt mean I am running bleeding edge code, it just means updating the Wordpress code is as simple as svn sw new_version_url. Which is a lot simpler than downloading and unpacking tars over the top.

I just upgraded this blog to the latest wordpress (2.5), and found that my flickr posting plugin had broken. I had a look at the code, but despite being pretty quick to figure out what needed changing, a new version of the plugin has been released which supports wordpress 2.5
If you use wordpress, and want to post flickr images, I strongly recommend Flickr Photo Album for WordPress. I also strongly recommend upgrading to wordpress 2.5, the admin interface is rewritten, and seems to work much better
