Hi Max,<br>
<br>
Marin's answer is correct. Here are a few examples:<br>

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:

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…

My understanding is that your Yahoo! button should behave exactly as if
the user had entered "yahoo.com" into your normal OpenID login form and
submitted. It's really just a shorthand to save the user from typing
that in.
This will of course only work if you have an OpenID 2.0-capable relying
party, since Yahoo! supports only 2.0 and uses the 2.0 "directed
identity" feature to support the above.
