Ken Mitchell

I’ve seen alot of jabber about OpenID the last couple of days so I thought I’d share this tidbit of info.

If you are a blogger, you can claim your blog with your OpenID pretty easily. What this means is, for instance, you (a provider supporting OpenID) can verify that www.ken-mitchell.com is owned by ken-mitchell.myopenid.com . Add the following lines to your page:

<link rel="openid.server" href="http://openidservice.com/server/" />
<link rel="openid.delegate" href="http://you.openidservice.com/" />

where "openidservice" is your OpenID provider, and "you.openidservice.com" is your OpenID.

For example, my URI is www.ken-mitchell.com. My OpenID is ken-mitchell.myopenid.com. Take a look at my source.

<link rel="openid.server" href="http://myopenid.com/server/" />
<link rel="openid.delegate" href="http://ken-mitchell.myopenid.com/" />
