<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Johannes-it’s great to see these examples (and thanks
for Chris for blogging them, since I hadn’t signed up for the UX mailing
list yet). <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>One suggestion: you might consider using the OpenID logo
next to the “Use OpenID” link. I think the logo is very
recognizable, and it would help OpenID people see the option more clearly. I
think it’s also sufficiently small and neutral that, in general, it would
not interfere with the existing design of the page.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>The “No password?” link is a bit too prominent/confusing
for my taste, but I do think it would benefit users (and OpenID) if you put
some brief text below the OpenID login box, including some instructions and a
link to “what is OpenID?”. The instructions might be “Enter
your OpenID URL, host name, or i-name to log in.” The advantage of the
link will also be that every curious non-openID user who clicks “Use
OpenID” can then get an explanation of OpenID, including hopefully some
links of sites where you can get your own OpenID link.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
