New Feature: Facebook Login

So that you have one less account to deal with, Mush Pot now supports login through Facebook using Facebook Connect! It's easy:

If you don't already have a Mush Pot account: click the "<login with Facebook>" link, and you'll be asked to enter your Facebook username and password. (We don't ever see this information — it's transmitted directly and securely to Facebook.) After you've logged into Facebook, a Mush Pot account will be automatically created for you and linked to your Facebook account, and you'll be prompted to select a Mush Pot username.

If you are already logged into a Mush Pot account: click "<connect account with Facebook>", which will prompt you to log into Facebook. This will link your accounts.

Once your Mush Pot account is linked to Facebook, a link will appear under each item you've submitted to let you publish that item to your Facebook profile.

For simplicity, while your Mush Pot account is connected to a Facebook account, it has no password associated with it, and you will always need to sign in with Facebook. If you change your mind and want to unlink the accounts, click "<disconnect account from Facebook>" and you'll be prompted to select a new password for your Mush Pot account.

By the way, the original subtitle for this post was "A young girl's strange, erotic journey from Milan to Minsk", which, in retrospect, doesn't seem quite appropriate. That's the power of revising right there.
