Vanity OpenID with Your Google Account
I recently wrote about using Google Apps for Your Domain to provide a vanity OpenID.1 Now, you can use your website to delegate to your Google account as an OpenID Provider.2 Here’s how:

- Add the two lines below the head of your website’s index. Change the second line to reference your Google Profile URL.
