Enabling OpenID for Neologism
Currently Neologism is built in Drupal 6 and OpenID is in its core. Thus, in order to use OpenID you need to go to Administer » Site building » modules and check the checkbox to enable the OpenID module from the Core package and then click the save configuration button at the end. Once the module is enabled the link to log using OpenID will appears at the bottom left of the login form.
