I’ve been enthusiastic about openid for a while but have so far not managed to openid enable my site. WP-OpenID, which is the main openid plugin for wordpress is under quite active development.

My previous post was a bit short because I was basically calling the taxi to the airport at the same time. The reason for this was “Bad Behavior“, which is a wordpress plugin that got a little overzealous and locked me out of my own site stating that I had just been blacklisted. Consequently I [...]

There’s a new ‘about’ me page
