Let’s See OpenID!

Sure, I’ve yapped about WP supporting OpenID before, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t do it again, eh? Six Apart’s TypeKey service is now serving as an OpenID server, and I’m quite hopeful that WordPress will start supporting OpenID, either by rollout of a service for it in WP 1.6 [or later] or perhaps leveraging WordPress.com as an OpenID service provider.

Remember, folks: this is about identity, not trust. Trust can only be established if identity is established first, an argument that I’ve been making about Weblogs for years now.

Hello world!

I’ve been extended an invitation here to WordPress.com, and I will use this as a space to post my thoughts and ideas about WordPress. I’ve been doing that on my Weblog for over a year now, but I’ll do it here—some entries may get posted to both locations, but I’ll try to avoid overlap in areas where it doesn’t matter. [For example, if I'm talking about WP and something else, it might end up in both places, or it might just stay over yonder.]

Thanks to the WP folks for making a huge mistake generously and graciously offering me a platform here.
