I think that might just be a function of Disqus. I see your website url, but your Disqus url is http://disqus.com/openid-70925/, so it looks like the Open ID business worked as expected. Disqus might just have a policy of creating a unique profile for every login it processes.

This openID lark is really doing my head in. I’ve used the same process to use my own domain as my open ID by delegating to myopenID.com. When I make a comment on a website using OpenID it displays my name and links to a Disqus profile that shows my custom URL. How can I get the link to go directly to my domain and not the disqus profile?

This worked perfectly for me. You don't even have to go through their domain setup process; just putting those for lines between the head tags of a web page does the trick.

I've had the same problem with OpenID… pissed me off so much that I more or less gave up on it. Perhaps I'll take a look at it again at some point. The Facebook or Google logins just seem easier to deal with anymore. I hate to give them too much trust, but I'm too old and tired to fight it.

Just because someone doesn't show love, doesn't mean you shouldn't
Your reply sounds very angry, and I'm sorry for that.
I'll pray for you and respect your wishes and not return.
Thank you for the information about openID.

Are you kidding me? She wasn't showing love to “everyone” when she posted her right-wing paranoid hatemongering. Listen, if you don't like it, go to someone else's blog – but I'm not going to help someone cover up what they say online. If you're going to have an opinion, at least have the balls to stand behind it. I simply told her I wouldn't help her. Her question was completely off-topic for the post (it has nothing to do with setting up an OpenID on your own site). That's not small-minded, that's caring enough about what's important to you to demand that people be accountable for the hateful things they post online. If you don't like it, don't come back to this blog.

I was about to comment and thank you for this post about OpenID. Reading through the string of comments I can to this reponce about you not wanting to help because of someone's views. Wow, that's really small minded.
I guess I'll just say thank you for the post and hope some day you open your mind and love everyone.

Have a great day.
