@kait – Well you inspired me way back when to learn HTML… :)

@willnorris – Thanks for commenting! I’m glad you like the term slash daddy. Looking forward to hearing about your progress on DiSo.

@drewp – Thanks for the link I’m trying to set up OpenID on my blog this week so your input was super helpful.

If you have a “main” page that you control, especially on a domain you control, you might like to delegate the identity provider from that page.

For example, bigasterisk.com is mine, but I haven’t bothered to setup an openid provider. So I put a tag in bigasterisk.com’s index.html saying that myopenid.com can be trusted to provide my id (for now). Sites I log into know me as ‘bigasterisk.com’, so if I change my actual provider later I won’t have to adjust my accounts.

http://simonwillison.net/2006/Dec/19/openid/ has a better guide to doing this.

I am my own Slash Daddy, but I guess I’m kind of a special case :) and I absolutely love the term… that’s just awesome!
