Turn Your Blog Into a LID URL

From LID Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

If you following these instructions, your LID will be:

  • an OpenID URL;
  • a LID URL;
  • a Yadis URL.

simultaneously.

There are two basic choices:

  • point, from your blog, to your LID URL at the mylid.net hosted identity service;
  • run LID software on your own blog.

Point, from your blog, to mylid.net

1. Sign up for a mylid.net identity by going to mylid.net

Let's assume you got the URL http://mylid.net/example

2. Add the following tags to the HTML HEAD section of your blog's front page:

<link rel="openid.server" href="http://mylid.net/example" />
<link rel="openid.delegate" href="http://mylid.net/example" />
<meta http-equiv="X-YADIS-Location" content="http://mylid.net/example?meta=capabilities" />
<meta http-equiv="X-XRDS-Location" content="http://mylid.net/example?meta=capabilities" />

Strictly speaking, you don't need all of these, but with all of them, you will be able to use your LID URL in more circumstances than otherwise.

3. Wherever Yadis, OpenID or LID are accepted, enter the URL of your blog, and off you go.
