   Ok, sorry to be such an idiot so excuse my ignorance but how do you use OpenID? I have no idea what it is or how to use it. All I know is that it spares me from creating an account from many other blog servers by entering a url. I assume I create it with my WordPress blog.

   I have been told that WP may be compatible and I want to know how to get it working.

   Thank you.

   That is no help on setting it up on WordPress. Its merely informing people on its protocol.

   Hi, I just googled looking for the same information and although Google is my friend, today my friend gave me the finger! ;)

   I've seen a hack by Scatmania but I got scared by this:

   "It’s very, very messy and a little buggy. Plus, installing it requires that you hack a few PHP files… use at your own risk."

   Does anyone know of a blessed, easy, or reliable OpenID tool for WP? Thanks in advance for not mocking my fear of risk.

   There seems to be a working WordPress Plugin here (I haven't tested it):
