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.

Ironically, after reading some of your previous comments on other blogs, I am disinclined to help you as well.

Having said that, Disqus will typically keep you logged in until you specifically log out, so you should pay more attention to whether or not you are logged into Disqus before commenting. If you don't want it traced back to you, make sure you're logged out and comment as a guest.

Thank you so much for being here. I never signed into Disqus …I just clicked on a link in Google and it showed up. I have also noted that when I was on one NYT comment section that it showed my gmail account with my actual name. I did set up a WordPress url that I wanted to use for my political views. But the thing that bothers me the most is that my main MSN account is my oldest email and yet I thought because the address does not show my name that I would be safe in using that email address because I show no profile on MSN per se yet it is the one linked both professionally and personally thru this new linking process. Is there anyway to undo what I have done? This is going to ruin me and actually going to affect people that rely upon me.
