My blog is at:

I think folks supporting OpenID on their blogs these days is more a 
function of whether the blog platform they're using supports it rather 
than any particular statement about the candidate's own support of 
OpenID, but if this makes you happy then fair enough. :)

To be honest, I think that's the fault of Movable Type's default 
configuration rather than a concious decision by Snorri. The LiveJournal 
and Vox icons do in fact use OpenID, but the general OpenID icon ought 
to be there as well.
