 * Hey Will,
 * First off, thanks for the plugin! I’m excited to start using it.
 * Looks like the link to the developer documentation is broken. Can you provide
   an update one?
 * Also, I am having issues getting the checkbox to show up on my site to allow 
   for openId comments. Looks like the jQuery function is there, but not doing anything,
   and no JS errors. Can you shed some light? (www.stinogle.com).
 * Thanks,
    _Rob

 * ooh, good catch. I’ve copied the API page (which was the main one) over to github:
   [https://github.com/diso/wordpress-openid/wiki/API](https://github.com/diso/wordpress-openid/wiki/API).
   I’ll see if there’s any other content worth copying over as well.
 * I’ll look into the problem you’re having on your site.

 * I think I may have found the problem… the plugin was returning invalid JSON for
   the AJAX call that does the OpenID discovery on the entered URL. In previous 
   versions of JQuery, I believe it was more lenient about this, but as of 1.4 it
   fails silently (see [http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.getJSON/](http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.getJSON/)).
   Try checking the plugin out of github ([https://github.com/diso/wordpress-openid](https://github.com/diso/wordpress-openid))
   and see if that version works for you.

 * also, it looks like you have two copies of jQuery getting loaded:
 * [http://stinogle.com/wp-content/themes/smashingtheme/javascript/jquery.js](http://stinogle.com/wp-content/themes/smashingtheme/javascript/jquery.js)
   
   [http://stinogle.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.4.4](http://stinogle.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.4.4)
 * I don’t *think* that’s causing problems, but certainly wouldn’t hurt to fix that.

 * Ah, ok, that makes sense. Thanks a ton Will!
