Get OpenID-fied and get blog analytics
BlogUpp is sharing analytics, the easy way - so that you don't need to have an account with us to access blog analytics.
With all those websites requiring you to register to use their services, it's not easy to remember all the user IDs and passwords. Things get a lot simpler with OpenID, which allows to log in to thousands of websites with a single digital identity, represented by a simple URL, which can be your blog URL.
We now support OpenID too, and it allows to access blog analytics with BlogUpp just by entering your blog address. It's that simple! Most blogs hosted on Blogger, WordPress, TypePad, LiveJournal and alike have been OpenID-enabled automatically. Just click “Analytics” in upper menu, enter the address of your blog that has an active BlogUpp widget, and that's it – you should be in.
For blogs on blogspot.com please do the following, should OpenID not be automatically enabled:
• Go to www.blogger.com, and click on "Settings";
• Choose the tab "OpenID" and follow the instructions to make sure the blog is OpenID-enabled.
• Alternatively, please paste the following line in the header of your blog:

For custom domain blogs on wordpress.org - there is a quick solution as well to enable OpenID. Simply install the OpenID plugin, then in plugin's settings select to enable OpenID and specify the blog owner. That's it.
Alternatively, the following steps should be followed. Firstly, get an OpenID from sites like Yahoo, AOL, which might already have your OpenID identifier, without you even knowing it. Then through OpenID delegation you can easily transform your blog URL into an OpenID. It only requires the ability to add a small snippet of HTML code to your blog. Basically, OpenID helps prove that you own the blog.
For example, in case of myOpenID issued identifiers, the code to be added into the
which says that your blog is owned by the owner of "
For an AOL OpenID, the code would look like:
More examples of OpenID code snippets will be posted in the comments below, and we welcome you to share the OpenID snippet that worked for your blog. For more information about OpenID, visit OpenIDexplained.com or OpenID.net.
Get OpenID-fied and enjoy the difference with your universal online identity! Ultimately, you can enter dozens of sites, including BlogUpp analytics and Premium area simply by providing your blog's URL. Moreover, while being authenticated through your blog's URL as an OpenID, and commenting in the blogosphere, your blog is linked back automatically, with minimum effort. Isn't that cool? We think it really is. Enjoy your blogging!

The OpenID plugin you linked to, for WordPress, doesn't make my WordPress into an OpenID provider - which means I can't use it to log into BlogUpp!.
To do that seems to require some extra magic which I'm still in the process of investigating; it may involve something called phpMyID.
Anyway, just a tip for any other WordPress.org users out here.
Thanks Dobes for the tip.
Indeed, the WordPress plugin is no more functional, and it was removed from the post.
We've verified and confirm that WordPress blogs on custom domains can be configured for this purpose through OpenID delegation as well.
The bloggers being Yahoo! users can also use their Yahoo! account to access BlogUpp! stats.
Just visit http://openid.yahoo.com/, press "Get started", and look in the section "Your OpenID identifiers" for your OpenID URL, or choose one that's easier for you.
After that it's enough to add into the header of your blog the following code:
<link rel="openid2.provider"
href="https://open.login.yahooapis.com/openid/op/auth" >
<link rel="openid2.local_id"
href="https://me.yahoo.com/username" >
replacing username with yours, if it's in your OpenID identifier, or replace with the actual OpenID link.
And that's it.
great improvement indeed, congrats. I hope to see more features added soon. Tinh
That's good. I am using OpenId now.
Is there any way to do this without editing the head of the template? Not all bloggers have full access to their templates.
If a blog platform is not allowing modifying the header, it might be possible there is an option in the settings of the blog itself, to enable OpenID. As mentioned in the post, major blog platforms are already OpenID-enabled, and there needn't be changed anything.
Should further assistance be required, please contact us by email with the details of your blog.
Does anyone have a code for using a technorati ID?
For a Technorati OpenID delegation the following code should be used:
<link rel="openid.server"
href="http://technorati.com/openid/" />
<link rel="openid.delegate"
href="http://technorati.com/people/technorati/USERNAME/" />
As suggested on Technorati weblog, you must be logged into Technorati to be able to use it as an OpenID.
anyone know the code for self hosted wordpress? I am hopeless at figuring out code
@Doreen Payne: It's not as complicated as it looks.
For self hosted blogs you can use any of the codes issued by OpenID-enabled services mentioned above.
The best choice should be the web service that you are already using, and which already has an OpenID for you. This advantages you in many ways, including that you can use same password to access multiple sites, as well as BlogUpp! stats.
In case none of the services you are using are OpenID providers, then you could easily get one from myopenid.com, for instance. This will enable you use it as a unique authentication identifier on many web sites.
Should you need further assistance please contact us by email, using the link from our home page.
My site url is http://hucheng.com/
I have been added myOpenID issued identifiers in my site,
(two link label and a mete x-xrds-location label.
and I have been login blogupp stat successfully 3 times.
http://www.blogupp.com/ 2 days, 14 hours ago 3
(visited sites in myopenid.com)
But now, I can not login it, notice is 'Sorry, OpenID login failed. Please try again, using correct credentials'. Why? Please check it. Thanks a lot!
@hucheng: Provided you had managed to login successfully in the past, most probably there was a temporary issue with the different communication channels.
Please try again, and if the problem persists, tell us about it by email.
Thanks.
We are new in Blogupp. We try it and wanna make some review than publish on our Tabloid Internet - the internet news in print that publish on Indonesia
You are very much welcome, and your intention appreciated.
Please feel free to collect the information you need from our blog, or other community's reviews. If still got questions - we'll answer them by email.
I've tried to get into the stats but after putting in my login to my blogspot all I got was 'Sorry, OpenID login failed. Please try again, using correct credentials'. It's likely that I got the login wrong but it doesn't give me the option to correctly log in. What do I do?
Cheers
@emma: Thanks for asking.
When you get that message displayed, and need to re-enter corrected credentials, please use the "Back" button in your browser or access stats page again.
If the problem persists, try specifying your blog URL as "http://www.amoebahandmade.blogspot.com/", i.e. with "www" prefixing the name of the blog; it was submitted like this to BlogUpp!.
Please do let us know what worked for you.
Best regards.
BlogUpp its true and good free services to get more nice traffic. My blog was buzz from 0 into 4. Thanks BlogUpp. Ooouu.... by the way we need your support for Kampanye Damai Pemilu Indonesia 2009 by our friends, Harie.
I am trying to access the stats page but nothing I do seems to work. I run a self hosted WP site and signed up for an OpenID. I have added the code snippet for myopenid in the header code of my site.
My blog is on a subdomain and is www.laptop-computers.co.za/wordpress/blog/show
What do I use to login? The blog url or my open ID url. Both are returning errors.
Help would be greatly appreciated
@info, your blog has been set up with OpenID correctly.
While you login to BlogUpp! stats, please specify the complete link to your blog, i.e. http://www.laptop-computers.co.za/wordpress/blog/show/
In case the issue persists, please provide more details. We'd need to know whether you are directed to myOpenID authentication page, and what happens while you are returned.
When I try and login with http://www.laptop-computers.co.za/wordpress/blog/show I get this error
"Sorry, there was an error
Something has gone wrong, and the requested operation cannot be completed at this time.
The support team will do its best to fix the service for You.
Please return back later"
We are investigating your case right now.
It can't be simulated with the blogs we own, but we'll keep trying.
I'm having trouble checking stats with my openid too.
Scratch my last message, it works now. Thanks!
And I'm once again getting the same login error:
Sorry, there was an error
Something has gone wrong, and the requested operation cannot be completed at this time.
The support team will do its best to fix the service for You.
Please return back later
@lance_, just checked and it works with myOpenID delegation, although it's indeed not working with OpenID plugin for WordPress. Though it seems as an error on our side, while googling we have identified reports of similar issues with WordPress OpenID plugin.
We'll investigate what's causing it on our side, nevertheless we advise that you try "OpenID Delegate WordPress Plugin" or newer versions of the above plugin.
My blog has an openID support, but when i can't login / confirm with this message: "Sorry, this blog hasn't been approved yet. Please try again later" what is it mean? thanks
@bizril, that's right.
You should be able to access your stats now, as your blog has just been approved.
Welcome into BlogUpp! community.
hey dude.. just added the link rel on my blog header (using yahoo open-id)... whats to next... i'm kinda blur right now...
@Nasz, that's it - your blog has been OpenID enabled. You can now access BlogUpp! stats, get Premium packages, and also use your blog as login while entering other OpenID enabled services.
glad to hear that.. but somewhat feel kind of frustrated when this happen --> Sorry, OpenID login failed. Please try again, using correct credentials
As per recent verification of Yahoo OpenID functionally, there has been indeed noticed the issue described by Nasz.
We advise that you use for now myOpenID.com or other services as OpenID providers, and apologize for inconvenience.
good to hear a reply from you.. now i've just registe at myopenid.com... regular question.. what to do next?
@Nasz, thanks for being receptive to our recommendation. Include in your blog the OpenID tags belonging to myOpenID (as shown above) and try to log in to your stats.
If there are any other issues, please contact us by email (from the main page) for further assistance.
try to login use open id --> Sorry, this blog is new to us. Please submit it firstly at our main page
sorry forget to mention my open id url --> http://nasz-razak.myopenid.com/
@Nasz, please provide your blog URL (http://blog.nasz.my/) while attempting to log in into stats. As per the actions completed earlier, your blog URL acts now as an OpenID as well.
Note that your blog can be used as an OpenID identified while accessing other online services that are OpenID enabled too.
thanks.. my bad... forget to change the link rel stuff on my header.. now it working fine... thanks..
Its great and quite amazing.
i am having trouble grasping this concept. i've set up and openID account successfully. matter of fact i tested it accessing my google account and authenticated the access request. however, when i try to look at blogupp.com stats, i get the "wrong credentials" error.
i am wondering i i am supposed to include some sort of code snippet into my header on my blog? obviously this makes some sense to me, but i am having difficulty knowing which code to add. i understand the code should be added to the header section.
help :/
oh, and btw - i've authenticated the method of posting here by using Google openID. curioser.
It's actually simpler than it looks.
Just get an OpenID, say with myOpenID.com - and insert into your blog updated URLs, as mentioned above.
Although Google acts as an OpenID provider, it seems however that it doesn't support OpenID delegation, which we are actually doing here.
We are still investigating the issue with Google accounts OpenID delegation, and as soon as we settle it, we'll post an update.
Yahoo OpedID still doesn't work here?
Just tried and got an error message!
@getz, yes - Yahoo OpenID is still an open issue.
We'll post an update when that is settled.
Please consider myOpenID.com instead.
Trying to get this working.
My blog is located at bullshithalloffame.com
The openID process seems to have gone good but when trying to login to the stats page I get the standard bad credentials message.
@Steve, please move the OpenID tags from your blog's body, to blog's header (between "head" tags), and try again.
Note to provide your blog URL as first submitted, i.e. without the "www" prefix.
I must be missing something. I thought I did this but I still get the same error message.
I'm putting the code in the header.php. Is that wrong?
@red, please let us know your blog URL to investigate.
