[OpenID] trying to use an account with flickr to set up an openid one ...

[Tech Monk]

 Hi,
~ 
 I have an account with flickr (I login using a yahoo one) which I would like to use in order to set up openid credentials
~ 
 my account at flickr/yahoo is: tekmonk2005
~ 
 On the openid site they say if I have a flickr/yahoo account I already have an openid one, but when I enter tekmonk2005 as my openid on blogspot.com, I get a message that reads:
~ 
 "Your OpenID credentials could not be verified."
~ 
 How can I set up an openid account, so I can post at blogspot.com?
~ 
 Thank you
