I'm trying to log in to the CakePHP website using Open ID:
http://ask.cakephp.org/users/login
The most correct looking URL I've found is:
https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id
..but I can't properly determine what I'm supposed to enter for my open ID, as it rejects everything that I try putting in.
Is the cake site just broken, or do I have the wrong URL?

On most sites you can use your Google profile link when logging in to OpenID. E.g.
http://www.google.com/profiles/your.name.here
Before Google profile OpenID support you had to use
https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id
You can read more about it at Jeff Atwood blog post: Google Offers Named OpenIDs.
However, it appears, that at ask.cakephp.org Google profile URLs are not working. As noted by Greg, if you are logged in to your google account,
google.com
will work as OpenID url there.
