Hello everyone,

I just wanted to tell you all that I've created a very basic MicroID 
WordPress plugin. 
You can download it and check it out here: 
http://eran.sandler.co.il/microid-wordpress-plugin/

The concept behind writing it is that not everyone that do have a blog really 
wants to mess around with the template's HTML. In addition to that, if one 
changes the template to another one, he/she will lose these changes and with 
a plugin this will simply not happen.

It's very basic at the moment and requires the user to enter his/her Email 
address. After that, the MicroID <link> HTML tag will be added to the main 
page of the blog (its home page or root) only and is claimable afterwards 
with claimID.

This is the first release and its very basic. It also means that I've created 
a simple PHP function to generate MicroID (which I will post on the next 
message).

I also wanted some feedback on a feature I was thinking about. If you are in 
a community blog or a blog with multiple writers, would it make sense to 
create the MicroID on each of the posts (not on the home page) with the Email 
of each user?

Do you think someone will want such a feature?

I wonder if we can get the nice people at WordPress.com to use MicroID and 
generate it for each blog (at least 
on the home page of the blog) with the Email address used to open that blog's 
account.

Anyhow, download, install and enjoy :-)

Eran
