Welcome to the new OpenID Site!

Scott Kveton and I have spent today out in the sunny Tulsa, Oklahoma offices of Vidoop working with their team on a gigantic update to OpenID.net. As you can see, we’ve touched just about every part of the site. The theme is upgraded, content reorganized and rewritten, no longer using a theme system from before the bubble, and a lot of other new tweaks.

As always, the website is an evolving work in progress maintained by the OpenID community. If you’re interested in contributing, or have feedback, join the marketing@openid.net mailing list where the community discusses marketing and evangelism for OpenID. All in all, thanks to everyone who has worked on the new site, I know I’m really excited to see it one step closer to completion!

    Looks great! And I’m definitely excited by your choice of publishing platform. :-) What plugin are you using for OpenID integration?

    This is really more of a test of whather your openid plugin works with my phpmyid setup than anything else, but if all goes well then I suppose it serves as an example of how far this technology has come, I suppose.

    *Much* better. It’s easier for end users to understand and better looking to boot.

    The new site seems so exciting.
    I spent so much time looking through the different OpenID’s displayed on How to get an OpenID.
    Just to mention that myID.net caught my eye because its URl is so much shorter than the norm. As far as OpenID’s go, to me as a novice in the OpenID world, simplicity seems to appeal to me most, and its great to beable to login so fast.

When your really start connecting with the alpha factor not sure what that means well let me explain in laymans terms your higher self. you know we all have a spirit within us. Just tap into that and you will never go wrong right…no go left write hear… oh u-turned to late… back up and now you take it from hear… If you only understood the dialect everything would be just fine… seams to me … you might want to be hen pecked a bit first then you will really see the seed withing the message. grrrr roar lol

    Good, but… Where is the French version ?

  22. Mazury Says:

    Congratulations and all the best for OpenID Foundation ! Great job!!! Really nicely implemented.

    I’m afraid that when I tried to log in to the wiki I received the error message:

    ‘Verification of the OpenID URL failed.’

    My OpenId is id.tlocke.org.uk

    Incidentally, I was logging in to edit the wiki to add the following site:

    http://www.own-id.com/ – Lets you use your own domain name as an OpenId Identifier.

    Are these blog comments still OpenID enabled?

    This page breaks down the (downright messy) state of OpenID in Wordpress:

    http://rotacoo.com/how-to-set-up-openid-for-wordpress-comments

    I think I’ll just do without OpenID for just now.
