My Very Own OpenID

I have made my own site my OpenID provider! Or sort of .. I've added two lines to the layout of the site and now i can use briandemant.dk as my OpenID url.

So now I can log in to http://stackoverflow.com, getharvest.com/ and other sites without having to remember a password for each.

This is whats needed when your "real" OpenID provider is google

<link href='https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/ud?source=profiles' 
      rel='OpenID2.provider' />
<link href='http://www.google.com/profiles/Brian.Demant' 
      rel='OpenID2.local_id' />

How does it work? By delegating the identification to google I can now login to various sites using one login and one safe password.

The safe password is of course my own responsibility, but instead af trying to remember 10-20 unique passwords for different sites I can now login to those which supports OpenID.
