I strongly encourage every blogger and blog reader to sign up for a FREE OpenID. Once you have your own OpenID, it will become a digital identity of yours in hundreds and thousands of websites. (provided they support OpenID)

The most common place that you will see OpenID enabled is a blogspot.com blog. Just imagine if you have an OpenID account, you can just post comments with that single identity that represent you. Maybe you think this is not neccessary, but OpenID will come in handy when you want to sign up an account in a site that supports OpenID.

There are nearly ten thousand sites from different categories that support OpenID.  You can check out a list of sites that support OpenID here or here. You may even already have an OpenID if you are using the following services:

  • AOL
  • Blogger
  • Flickr
  • LiveDoor
  • LiveJournal
  • Orange (France Telecom)
  • SmugMug
  • Technorati
  • Vox
  • Yahoo
  • WordPress.com

Sign up for a FREE OpenID and with a single identity, you can login to many web services! Doesn’t it sound great? To find out more about OpenID or how to get an OpenID, please visit OpenID official website.
