 * Hello,
 * I am wanting to host blogs on my website using one of the third-party-hosted 
   blog solutions. I would like to require my readers to log in before leaving feedback.
   Additionally, I would like their user name to appear next to their feedback entry.
 * Here’s the catch – my site currently has its own user registration system. If
   a reader is logged into my website, I don’t want to force them to log in a second
   time in order to leave feedback on a blog. Likewise, if a reader logs in to leave
   feedback on a blog, I don’t want to make them log in again in order to leave 
   feedback on my site.
 * The ideal situation would be this –
 * 1) Whenever somebody logs into my site, I set some sort of cookie that is readable
   by the blog software. In the cookie, I will provide the blog software with any
   information it needs to know about the user. Thus, if a reader logs into my site
   and then starts reading a blog, they don’t need to log in again in order to leave
   feedback on the blog.
    2) If a reader tries to leave feedback on a blog, but 
   they have not already logged in to my site, the blog software should send the
   reader to the login/registration page on my site. This will allow them to log
   in to my site or set up a new account if need be.
 * Will WordPress let me do this?
