| − | == Network Accounts ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Can I give someone an account as a gift? ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Not at this time. A key feature of the CC Network is the added verification of identity which allows people to put more trust in your license claims. Gifting removes our ability to perform that verification through the completion of the financial transaction.

| − | == Profile Pages ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Why is my name displayed on my profile? ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | When you license a work with a Creative Commons license, you are making a claim of ownership. A CC Network profile is a way to help increase trust in that claim of ownership. We do this by displaying your name on the profile. When you complete a financial transaction your name and other information is verified by the payment processor. For this reason we use the name from your PayPal transaction for your CC Network profile.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Your OpenID URL is an identifier you can use to log in to sites which support OpenID. Your CC Network Open ID URL is the same as your profile URL. For example, if your username is <code>betty</code> your OpenID URL and profile are at <code>https://creativecommons.net/betty/</code>.

| − | === How do I delegate to my Creative Commons Network OpenID? ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Delegation allows you to use a URL you control, like your personal domain, as your OpenID identifier, and another service, such as the CC Network, to perform the actual authentication.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To delegate from your site to your CC Network account, add the following to the <code>head</code> section of your personal ID page:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <link rel="openid.server" href="https://creativecommons.net/o/endpoint/" />
| |
| − | <link rel="openid.delegate" href="https://creativecommons.net/'''your-username-here'''" />
