Initial simple way to Webfinger enable your domain -- needs PHP. ================================================================ Step 1 ====== First, put the folders 'xrd' and 'dot-well-known' on your website, so they load at: http://yourname.com/xrd/ and http://yourname.com/.well-known/ (Remember the . at the beginning of this one) Step 2 ====== Next, edit xrd/index.php and enter a secret in this line: $s = ""; This can be anything you like... $s = "johnny-five"; or $s = "12345"; It really doesn't matter too much. Step 3 ====== For each user on your site, and this might only be you... Make a copy of the example@example.com.xml file so that it's called... yoursecretusername@domain.com.xml So, if your secret is 'johnny5' and your name is ben and your domain is titanictoycorp.biz, your file should be called johnny5ben@titanictoycorp.biz.xml Finally, edit the file to point at your account on your social site. If you are the only user, then you probably don't need to worry about user/1 as this will be you. For multi user sites, the user ID is on the profile page. Finally ======= Using this method, though fiddly, you can now be @user@domain without the need for any prefixes for subdomains, etc.
