Every Wordpress.com blog is an OpenID Identifier! This is awesome news! Identity urls are the top-level blog urls, and look like http://username.wordpress.com/.
The WP.com Identify Provider interface is fairly sparse, with decent spoof-protection. As in, the landing pages are completely devoid of any links to Wordpress.com proper.
As expected, this is compatible with the WPOpenID plugin, letting [...]
I was hacking on the Wordpress OpenID plugin today, looking for the problem that PHP4 users have been having with it. It seems that when a wordpress plugin hook is made like this
add_action( ‘hookname’, array( $this, ‘functionname’ ) );

It’s been a busy week. I didn’t expect the wordpress openid plugin to get mentioned in WeblogToolsCollection and thus syndicated into the Planet Wordpress feed of the WP Dashboard. My server saw an extra ~1600 hits in 4 days from that. I’m not too sure that people are reading the information though, or just clicking [...]

Threw together a quick’n’dirty plugin for Wordpress this afternoon, now accepting arbitrary local account creation for OpenID identities. Anyone with an LJ or other OpenID server should be able to login and comment on this post.
Update: As requested, you can download the wordpress openid plugin source. [...]
I had a working ajax implemention of OpenID, but it’s broken now. I’ve poked and prodded it, and quite frankly I have no idea what happened. I suspect it might be a schroedinbug, which is why I havn’t asked the list about it, for fear of infecting their mindpsace. Two seperate implementations of mine, on [...]
Ben Hyde has put together an excellent illustation of the various calls and processes involved in OpenID validation. It would great if this diagram were augmented with one describing the equivalent process for an ajax-style solution.
