[microformats-discuss] Weblog entries and forum posts

[David Janes -- BlogMatrix]

Hi Geof,

This is exactly the kind of user case. I'm up to my elbows in 
Greasemonkey write now trying to make a sample I can share with folks. 
You may also want to look at the "reblg.com" people and see what they're 
doing.

I'm having a bit of trouble (i.e. a lot) with a upstream router but 
hopefully I can share a little demo very soon.

Regards, etc...
David
