As you can see in the illustration, I’ve chosen to use the WordPress.com installation of OpenID. I tied it to my WordPress.com account and have so far used it in only two places. I’m thinking that every time I offer up an OpenID, I’ll point to that one. So far so good, right? ( To get up to speed on OpenID, go here).

What happens if WordPress.com folds? What happens if they change their mind and start charging me, or I leave them for someone else, or whatever? By choosing WordPress.com (or Yahoo.com, or anyone.com) as my OpenID host/provider/whatever you call it, what happens to my ID should I choose to move it?

What do you know/think?
