You must be this independent in order to contribute:

  1. you must have your own domain, and
  2. have figured out how to set up web sign-in on it.

Setup Instructions

1. Link to your various social profiles on your home page

On your home page, link to your profiles and add the rel="me" attribute to the links.

This may look something like the following:

<ul>
  <li><a href="https://twitter.com/aaronpk" rel="me">@aaronpk on Twitter</a></li>
  <li><a href="https://github.com/aaronpk" rel="me">Github</a></li>
  <li><a href="http://profiles.google.com/aaron.parecki" rel="me">Google</a></li>
  <li><a href="http://facebook.com/aaronpk" rel="me">Facebook</a></li>
  <li><a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/aaronpk/" rel="me">Flickr</a></li>
</ul>

2. On each service, ensure there is a link back to your home page

You'll need to verify that each service has a link back to your home page. For convenience the "edit profile" links for all the supported services are below.

3. You're done!

That's it! You're done! Now you can use your domain to sign in to any sites that support web sign-in!
