MyBlogLog and OpenID

Starting now you can  use your MyBlogLog profile URL to login to any site that supports OpenID.  Visit the Yahoo Open ID site to learn how.

For those of you with big, long fugly default urls, visit the Change your Profile page to pick something short and sweet and get one step closer to Profile Zen.

Why would you do this?

Let's say you come across a site that accepts OpenID for authenticated comments. You can use your MyBlogLog profile here so anyone wanting to click through and learn more about you will go to your MyBlogLog page and see all your blogs and latest updates on your New with Me page.

Many thanks to Shreyas Doshi, Allen Tom and the Yahoo Membership team on helping make this happen.

UPDATE: Once you add your MyBlogLog profile URL to the list, you don't need to use your entire profile URL. Just type "mybloglog.com" and we'll take it from there.

  1. Prove ownership of your MyBlogLog profile. Now!

    A neat feature of the OpenID technology is that it allows you, the developer, to verify that the user indeed has ownership of a URL endpoint. I had stated earlier that lifestreaming services are going to find this feature pretty

  2. OpenID is becoming standard now days for login into any website. It’s good you introduced openID support in MyBlogLog.

  3. Hi,
    When I saw you are supporting OpenID, I decided to check out MyBlogLog. I couldn’t find any way to login with my OpenID, though. Is MyBlogLog an OpenID consumer or just a provider?

  4. Hi Aaron,
    Sorry, we’re just a provider at the moment. As soon as Yahoo authentication supports consuming OpenID, we’ll be the first out the gate supporting it.

  6. Having used MyblogLog since months, I find extremely disappointing to force us applying for a Yahoo sign in.
    You should leave the choice to MyblogLog users community if they want to login using Yahoo ID or as before with their mail and PW (which worked flawless).
    Whatever technical reason given to sell the Yahoo ID concept, you simply force us to use a service we did not ask for.
    It’s a shame the first action Yahoo is taking since the acquisition of MyBlogLog is ‘capturing’ the community to Yahoo services.

  7. Hi Fabien,
    I hear you. We are working with Yahoo on more options in the future but in order to take advantage of the Yahoo infrastructure, we need to use Yahoo authentication as it exists today.

  8. I will just assume that using Yahoo makes the network larger, which is what I am looking for.

  9. I looked at the howto, filled out yahoo.com at the field with the openid icon and got the following result
    Could not discover an OpenID identity server endpoint at the url: http://yahoo.com
    This was the wpopenid plugin for wordpress.

  10. @Mike, did you claim your OpenID account at Yahoo first? Without it, it will not work.

  11. I managed to login to dopplr through Yahoo openid.
    The error must be within wpopenid
