<p class=MsoNormal>I like the idea of having larger provider icons on my
consumer site because it helps people realize they can use OpenID even when they
have no idea what it is. But what confuses the daylights out of me is
where that button is supposed to go. Yahoo has this page to “grab a
button” with no actual information about where the hell the link should
point:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/openid/loginbuttons.html">http://developer.yahoo.com/openid/loginbuttons.html</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Am I supposed to just point them at the existing OpenID form
when they click this or is there some more hand-holding process that Yahoo
offers given that their users have to enable their accounts? I realize
there is potentially some session negotiation that has to occur with my server,
just not sure how that’s supposed to go and what URLs it would use…<o:p></o:p></p>
