I visit many photoblogs every week and it gets tiring having to fill in all the forms with your name your email and url. Even with a firefox addon.

There is an option where pixelpost creates a cookie so if you visit again within a month your info will be saved.

Is it possible to make an addon that creates a universal cookie that can be used in ALL pixelpost photoblogs using the addon? This would only be useful if many people used this addon, or if it came standard with the next pixelpost release. I dont know how to make this happen, I'm just putting forward my idea.

This would be very difficult to do securely. A "global" cookie type setup would allow anyone, even rogue sites to retrieve access to your name/e-mail/website that you entered into the form box. (Think SPAM)

The only thing that I can think of that might work would be an OpenID like implementation, but that would require some sort of username/password, which pretty much defeats the whole purpose.

All in all, I think the current method is probably the safest and most efficient method. Yes it would be nice if it filled it in for all sites, but the security issues with that far outweigh any small time saving.
