I don't understand the question. What provider thing?
You have a Dreamwidth account, and you have a Livejournal account. You can use either one to log in to my site.
1. Make sure that you are currently logged in to either Dreamwidth or Livejournal. 2. Go to the sign-up page on my site: http://www.katspace.org/fiction/ficathons/finish-a-thon/2012/sign_up/ 3. In the "Author Name" form type in "Nicola Mody" 4. Click the "Edit" button next to that form, NOT the "edit" button which is elsewhere on the sign-up page. 5. You will be taken to the log-in form. 6. You have two options: you can log in using your LJ id, or you can use OpenId.
7. Doing option 1: click on the "pencil" icon. 7a. The form will change to say "Enter your Livejournal username:" 7b. Type in "vilakins". 7c. Click the "login" button. 7d. This will take you to LiveJournal, which says that katspace.org wants to validate your livejournal identity, and "Do you want to pass your identity to them?" 7e. Click on either "Yes, just this time" or "Yes, always". 7d. This should then take you back to katspace.org; you will be logged in, and you can now fill in the author-sign-up page.
8. Doing option 2: click on the "OpenId" button. 8a. The prompt should now be "Enter your OpenID:" 8b. Type in the URL of your Dreamwidth journal; in your case that would be "http://vilakins.dreamwidth.org" 8c. Click the "login" button. 8d. This will take you to Dreamwidth, which says that katspace.org wants to validate your dreamwidth identity, and "Do you want to pass your identity to them?" 8e. Click on either "Yes, just this time" or "Yes, always". 8d. This should then take you back to katspace.org; you will be logged in, and you can now fill in the author-sign-up page.
At which point in the above did you encounter problems?
