A place to call home - willnorris.com
willnorris.com/2013/a-place-to-call-home/
Last week, in a post talking about the IndieWeb, I shared my concerns with Mike Elgan's "Blogs of August", in which he encourages individuals to blog exclusively on Google+ for the month of August. I'm happy that the conversation has continued over the last week in various places like Copyblogger and on Google+ itself.. In my post last week, I mentioned:
Jailbreaking the Internet
willnorris.com/2013/jailbreaking-the-internet/
Blogs of August. I also love that Klint's article was published right in the middle of Mike Elgan's "Blogs of August" where he is trying to convince bloggers to give up their personal
sites
and blog exclusively on Google+ for the month of August. Needless to say, I think this is a terrible idea, especially for people who have already ...
Keeping Up - Will Norris
willnorris.com/2014/keeping-up/
I've spent this week trying to keep up with all that's been happening in the Indie Web the last few months. Inspired by Tantek's additions this week, I've now implemented fragmentions (), with similar styling to what Tantek is using.I spent my birthday writing a go webmention library and client, and this post is my first attempt at POSSEing using brid.gy.
Delta and the Security Question Anti-Pattern - Will Norris
willnorris.com/2008/delta-and-the-security-question-anti-pattern/
August 13, 2008 by Will Norris. High on my list of most aggravating anti-patterns is that of setting up (in)security questions. You know, where you have to choose three questions along the lines of: What is your father's middle name?
Providing and Delegating OpenIDs - Will Norris
willnorris.com/2008/providing-and-delegating-openids/
The next major release of wp-openid includes a built-in OpenID provider and delegation engine. This will certainly be the most exciting feature of this release for most people, so let me explain a bit how it works.
Life and Love and Why - willnorris.com
willnorris.com/2006/life-and-love-and-why/
Hey man, sounds like a really great opportunity. I'm really glad and excited for the both of you and I wish you both the best of luck. And if you do change your mind, there's always a warm bed and hot meal for you here in Alexandria.
Adding rel="me" to WordPress Social Menus
willnorris.com/2014/wordpress-social-menus-rel-me/
Update: As Kaspars points out in the comments below, it is indeed possible to set the rel value on menu links directly from within WordPress. I just had the option hidden for some reason. So definitely implement a Social menu location in any themes you're working on, and just ignore my code snippet below.
OpenID is not a provisioning engine - willnorris.com
willnorris.com/2007/openid-is-not-a-provisioning-engine/
In talking about the future possibilities of OpenID 2.0 and the Attribute Exchange extension, James Henstridge mentions, Imagine being able to update your shipping address in one place when you move house and having all the online retailers you use receive the updated address immediately. Or changing your email address and having all the bugzilla instances you use pick up the new address ...
wordpress, layouts, and URIs
willnorris.com/2005/wordpress-layouts-and-uris/
wordpress Well, I finally decided to ditch blosxom for a slightly more robust blogging package. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love blosxom and it's design philosophy… I was just running into too many problems getting plugins to inter-operate and behave exactly as I wanted them too.
Bigger and Better Things - Will Norris
willnorris.com/2009/bigger-and-better-things/
Well, it's been an interesting year, to say the least! Worse things certainly could have happened, and I think if all this results in you moving up to Portland to work on bigger and better things, net-net, I'd say we still are ending up ahead of the game.
A New Kind of OpenID Proxy - Will Norris
willnorris.com/2009/a-new-kind-of-openid-proxy/
It's an interesting concept, however, as a privacy nerd, it leaves me unhappy. You've mentioned that the salt could be stored or compromised, but far worse the actual OpenID used could be stored. As a privacy nerd I must assume the service is my enemy (this is why protocols like ToR and MIxmaster are set up to work even if you do not trust the nodes themselves).
OpenID help at WordCamp SF - willnorris.com
willnorris.com/2008/openid-help-at-wordcamp-sf/
I just finally saw Lloyd's post about the WordCamp SF Genius Bar, and I felt a bit inspired. One of the problems that has plagued wp-openid for a while is the rather random problems people tend to have in getting the plugin to work.
Directed Identity vs Identifier Select - Will Norris
willnorris.com/2009/openid-directed-identity-identifier-select/
I initially started writing this post a couple months ago in response to the common misuse of the term "directed identity" I was seeing in the OpenID community. After reading Dirk Balfanz's guest post Users vs.
Caddy snippets for static sites

Fetching go packages. In February 2015, I wrote Fetching Go Sub-Packages on Static
Sites
.Unsurprisingly, I still use my own domain in the import path of all of my go packages. I currently use Hugo to generate my
site
, so I have a custom layout for my go package files which reads relevant metadata from the page front matter and populates the necessary meta tags.
Authentication in WordPress 2.8 - willnorris.com
willnorris.com/2009/authentication-in-wordpress-28/
Use Case. I've spent a lot of time working with the WordPress authentication system. I took over the OpenID plugin for WordPress two years ago, and was hired by Vidoop last May to work on the DiSo Project full time. Last summer, Matt Mullenweg invited me to talk at WordCamp SF 2008 about OAuth. As you can see in my slidedeck, it was a lot of smoke and mirrors at that point… we didn't ...
WordCamp badge fail
willnorris.com/2013/wordcamp-badge-fail/
Last December, Matt Mullenweg linked to a post titled A lawyer's home base on the web is their blog, advocating the use of a personal website as your primary identity online.
wp-openid 2.2.0 released - Will Norris
willnorris.com/2008/wp-openid-220-released/
I've just released version 2.2.0 of the OpenID plugin for WordPress. Notable additions in this version: POST replay for comments - this should fix all the compatibility issues with other comment related plugins like reCaptcha.
WordPress OpenID v3.0 - Will Norris
willnorris.com/2008/wordpress-openid-v3/
I'm happy to announce that version 3.0 of the WordPress OpenID plugin is now available. As previously mentioned, there are a lot of new features in this release: OpenID Provider - Specific user roles can be given the capability of using the built-in OpenID provider, turning their author posts URL into a valid OpenID which can be used to login to other
sites
.
new features in wpopenid+
willnorris.com/2007/new-features-in-wpopenid/
The "comment pending" message is not coming up on my dev installation. Is there anything I should do? Hmm, I'd say go look at the logs but now that I think about it, I don't think I added to much useful stuff there :) I'd try this... make sure you have the latest version (I just checked in revision 30 last night), make sure you have "create local accounts" turned on for now (you can try it ...
wp-openid moving to DiSo
willnorris.com/2007/wp-openid-moving-to-diso/
In case you missed it last week, Steve Ivy and Chris Messina announced the DiSo Project as an incubator of sorts to develop distributed social applications. Initially, they will be focussing on plugins for existing publishing platforms like WordPress and Drupal.On the WordPress side, they are using wp-openid as a foundation to develop additional plugins that build on OpenID to bring other ...
