Last night, I upgraded my template on this blog. PlainText went to 4.0 some time ago, so I had a couple minutes to spare I put to use. As always, upgrading on WordPress is very easy. I did, however, forget to update my OpenID links on the new template. I realized this when I tried commenting on somebody’s Blogger account. I tried it a couple times before it clicked that I had upgraded the template.

Shaine I’m still learning about openID. I don’t have one - are they a good idea?

OpenID is helpful because it saves you from having to re-enter personal information on every site. You only need one user name and password. WordPress uses it on their site, AOL/AIM uses it, LiveJournal, Netscape, among others. It is a timesaver and also reduces the number of user names and passwords to remember.
From a website point of view, OpenID assures you that a person is who he says he is. Only a website owner can add the OpenID links to the template. I think you can experiment with it and decide if it’s for you.
I assume you are talking about updating your OpenID delegation tags. If so, you might find my Yadis Plugin useful. That would prevent the need to modify your template, although it does give you a little less flexibility in what meta tags are included. That should improve in future versions as I have time.
You’re right. I mean the delegation tags. Thanks for the link, I’ll check it out.
