No, this is my first attempt.  (The other site I would like to use is
http://ask.libreoffice.org/questions/, but it only offers to work with
a finite set of OpenID providers.)

@Sandy:

Does EasyDNS perchance have a fake known-working id for testing?  This
seems like a wrongheaded thing to ask, but it might provide a way of
localizing the problem.

The alternative seems to be that I should learn rather more than I
want to know about how OpenID works.  I am not sure that the game is
worth the candle.

Thanks,
Terry.
