Tip - Make your blog an OpenID
February 13th, 2007 - Fred StutzmanOne of the new features we dropped into ClaimID was an easy snippet of code that allows you to make your blog an OpenID (you could always do this before, we just auto-generate the code for you).
Just log in to ClaimID, browse to http://claimid.com/openid, and you’ll see a little section called “How do I delegate my OpenID.” It contains a little bit of code that you place inside the head of your blog or homepage.
Of course, if you need any help, just drop us an email or IM and we’ll help set you up.

Thanks for the recent interest in OpenID, it’s definitely the way to go…
Have you thought about adding a feature to let users delegate to their own/other openid servers ? A lot of sites at the moment are giving their users OpenID accounts, but few (none?) are allowing the delegate to be set to another server.

John - we have talked about it, and I don’t see any reason why not. It will take some development time on our part, but we definitely believe that you should have that choice!

Greetings Fred,
I noticed you guys didn’t include as recommended elsewhere. Guess it’s not critical, but what’s that supposed to do anyway?
Cheers,
Sebastian

Annoyed. Wrote a comment and wanted to sign it with my fancy new openid, but now I have to type it again. Sigh. Anyway, my question was regards X-XRDS-Location. Will just ask it via IM. Take care!
