Punderings

Goo-goo-ga-joob!  Many thanks to Sam’s instructions and CJ, I’m now running my own eponymous OpenID server.  Whoo-hoo, I am me!

OK, I haven’t finished the YADIS stuff yet, but hey, it works to sign in to various places.  I simplified the URLs a bit, and I think the best identity is your .name domain, instead of your blog address.  But that’s just me being all canonical about myself.

Hey – anyone have a way to login to your self-run WordPress install using an OpenID or the like?  One of my issues is posting to my blog securely.  Without buying an SSL cert for this specific domain name, I don’t think I can securely post entries without effectively sending the blog password in the clear.  Any tips?  (hmmm, should look at 2.1.2 release notes too).
