[OpenID] What is my Google OpenID URL?

[Andrew Arnott]

Note that using your Blogger blog URL is *not* equivalent to using
https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id.  Besides the user interface of the
login experience being completely different, Blogger's Provider is only an
OpenID 1.1 provider, whereas Google's
https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id OpenID
Provider is a more secure OpenID 2.0 provider.
