I own both WordPress.org and WordPress.com blogs. OpenID only appears on my WordPress.com Dashboard (click Settings to see it). The question is what can we do about it? I searched around for an answer. Here is the information I got so far. Actually OpenID is just the URL (website address) of your blog. If you registered a Free blog with WordPress.com, the OpenID just came with your WordPress.com blog automatically. It permits you to login to other people’s websites as an ID (if those websites support OpenID logins). It eliminates multiple usernames and passwords that you normally have to remember for logins. With one OpenID, it’ll no doubt make it easy for you to login. OpenID is still in the transition of being adopted by the publics but becomes more and more popular nowadays. Big companies such as AOL, Microsoft, Sun, Novell, and etc. already use OpenID as a mean to allow their customers to login to their websites.
