Thanks for the link

Also, you should know that many websites that support OpenID actually create one for you if you don't already have one. So you needn't create a new id, just decide which one you're going to use.

There are many OpenID providers. MyOpenID seems to be the most popular. (Some providers support using your website name as your OpenID, but you should be careful here and be sure that you are going to keep using your website for a long time).
