## Description

“MicroID enables anyone to claim verifiable ownership over content hosted
 anywhere
on the web” ([microid.org](http://microid.org/)). This plugin makes that easier 
by generating MicroIDs for you based on an identifier WordPress already has, or 
by an additional identifier you provide.

Partially inspired by other MicroID plugins by [Richard Miller](http://www.richardkmiller.com/wp-microid)
and [Eran Sandler](http://eran.sandler.co.il/microid-wordpress-plugin/).
