Yet another OpenID Provider (WordPress)

I was pretty excited earlier today, when I read that WordPress.com would start providing their users with OpenIDs, but most importantly accept OpenID as an authentication method, becoming a Consumer. Sadly the news where wrong… WordPress is just another OpenID Provider but they won’t accept OpenID as authentication mechanism. This significantly reduces the importance of this news: we have enough OpenID Providers, what we need are consumers. By now everybody, yes really everybody, has about 2 OpenID Identities, but besides blogs there are very few places we can use.

It is easy for sites to provide their users with OpenID, but accepting them is a major barrier…

Sorry to spoil it for you, but I’m can’t be bothered with yet another Provider.

    I’d also like to convey that most individuals who find themselves devoid of health insurance usually are students, self-employed and people who are laid-off. More than half in the uninsured are under the age of 35. They do not come to feel they are looking for health insurance since they are young and healthy. Their particular income is normally spent on houses, food, along with entertainment. Lots of people that do work either full or in their free time are not made available insurance by means of their work so they go without owing to the rising valuation on health insurance in the country. Thanks for the thoughts you share through this web site.
