David Recordon’s post on the O’Reilly Radar this evening reminded me that I had set up an OpenID some time ago with an existing provider, just to see what it was all about. I didn’t really understand it, and I didn’t know where I could use it except Sourceforge.net, so it got left to gather dust.
I’ve gone and done the same thing tonight, except I got a self-hosted OpenID. It really was quite simple, and there’s a few choices already for setting up your own self-hosted OpenID. My choice was phpMyID, which was incredibly simple to set up.
The number of sites using OpenID to logon is slowly increasing, and I’m on top of it already, woop!
