OpenID (again)

Now with new PHP v5.x and WP-OpenID 2.1.2, I can officially announce that my blog is now fully support OpenID.

To recap the OpenID the definition is…

OpenID is an open, decentralized, free framework for user-centric digital identity. OpenID takes advantage of already existing internet technology (URI, HTTP, SSL, Diffie-Hellman) and realizes that people are already creating identities for themselves whether it be at their blog, photostream, profile page, etc. With OpenID you can easily transform one of these existing URIs into an account which can be used at sites which support OpenID logins.

Sound too technical!!!  Let’s try this..

OpenID is a free and easy way to use a single digital identity across the Internet

With one OpenID you can login to all your favorite websites and forget about online paperwork!

Sound easier?

Two places I usually recommend to get the OpenID for yourself and read more about it are..
