 Perhaps I have done something wrong but this fails to work when I try to log in to several sites using my sites url as my login.  
 If I edit index.html and remove the two openid2 lines all works fine.  
 **Is there a way to only add openid version 1 tags to my index.html ?

+I was using _phpMyID_ and its not _openid2_ compliant so I switched to certifi.ca to counteract that but I really  
+want to go back to running my own provider.  
+I can't login to identi.ca.unless I comment out the openid2 lines.(this may be there problem, I get sent to certifi.ca's site and redirected back to identi.ca)    
+I will test all the different openid enabled sites I log into today and see what happens.  
+It seems that since I have moved my site to its final location and made it live over night I am able to login to most places now.   
+I do not have a proper understanding of the inner workings of openid so not exactly sure what part is failing but I think the problem  
+lays with the consumers not falling back to the openid1 tags when they are openid1 only consumers.  --[Mick](http://www.lunix.com.au)

+> So, just to clarify, certifi.ca works ok (I verified this, logging into identi.ca using it).
+> You had the problem running your own openid provider which did not support 2.0, in which case,

+I can't log into identi.ca with openid2 tags. strange. I will look at that again today.  
+Having the option to disable openid2 tags would be perfect.
