Just a brain dump here, my apologies if this is not welcome. It sounds like a simple single-sign-on behavior would be useful here. I'm thinking of OpenID[1] and OAuth[2] here. I've been meaning to dig deeply into OAuth but haven't gotten around to it. It seems like Typo having the option of being an OAuth provider could be cool. In your case, it sounds like you would need your existing site to be the OAuth provider and Typo to be the OAuth consumer. Then again, I really don't know anything about OAuth so I could be waaayy off here.
I hope that's helpful, but I doubt it. :) [1] http://openid.net/ [2] http://oauth.net/ On Tue, Mar 18, 2008 at 8:58 AM, Tom Cocca <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > I am thinking about using Typo as a blog for my existing site.
