WordPress › JanRain RPX – Authentication from Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Windows Live ID and OpenID « WordPress Plugins

By Dave, on January 4th, 2010

Update: There is now a Video Tutorial for installing and configuring this plugin.

I just found this cool plugin – the JanRain plugin. It basically allows users to sign into your web site using multiple authentication methods – Facebook, Twitter, Google, Open ID, Windows Live, and Yahoo!
Pretty cool, and it reduces the barrier to entry, making it much easier for users to leave comments and interact on your web site.
I might do a tutorial on this in the future, what do you think?

Also, today I just recieved two books to review for the podcast. Of course it will take me some time to read them, but I will be doing book reviews on the podcast in the future. Yay!

  Hi Dave,

  Thanks for the mention of RPX! We are definitely seeing strong adoption of our solution among Wordpress site owners that are looking for tools that are seamless to implement and make it easier for visitors to sign up and begin engaging more deeply with the site or blog.

  Let us know if you are interested in chatting with a member of the JanRain team on a podcast, and thanks again for the shout out!

  I would also love a tutorial, as I am a novice in coding and am stuck on the “handle tokens” step in the janrain guide.

  I will do a tutorial on this plugin in the next couple of weeks. This page is the most requested page on this web site, so obviously lots of people are interested.
