Sorry, I misunderstood your question.

The easiest route is to avoid running your own server altogether and
register with a hosted OpenID identity provider. These include Six
Apart's TypeKey, at <https://www.typekey.com/>, and Janrain's MyOpenID,
at <http://www.myopenid.com/>.

You can then use your own homepage URL as your identity using OpenID's
delegate functionality, by putting something like the following in your
HTML HEAD:

MyOpenID:
<link rel="openid.server" href="http://www.myopenid.com/server" />
<link rel="openid.delegate" href="http://youraccount.myopenid.com/" />

TypeKey:
<link rel="openid.server" href="https://www.typekey.com/t/openid" />
<link rel="openid.delegate"
      href="http://profile.typekey.com/youraccount/" />

With that in place, you should be able to sign in to LiveJournal using
the URL of whatever page you added the above links to.
