[microformats-discuss] Microformat for blog-searchand characterizing

[Eran]

Hi Bjorn,

I like the idea of a description for blogs. With all the aggregation
that's going on right now and the certain growth of that market in the
future it is a good thing to be learn something about the source of a
piece of information without too much hassle. I see it as kind of an
hCard for blogs.

About the proposed format, here's a few possible changes:

<div class="blogformat" language="de"> <!-- added lanugage attribute, I
think this is the correct usage... -->
  <img class="logo" src="http://blog.url/images/hblog.gif" alt="" />
<!-- changed url to absolute rather than relative -->
  <a class="bookmark" href="URL" title="Zum Weblog">Blogname</a> <!--
changed class name to bookmark to reflect permalink type -->
  <a clss="author" href=author.url">author.name</a> <!-- added author
field, maybe link to an hcard or include one inline? -->
  <span class="language"><em> / DE: </em></span>
  <ul class="categories"> <!--changed to categories as used in hreview
sample-->
    <li><a rel="tag"
href="http://technorati.com/Webstandards">Webstandards</a></li> <!--
changed categories to tags per ryan's suggestion -->
    <li><a rel="tag" href="http://wikipedia.com/CSS">CSS</a></li>
    <li><a rel="tag" href="http://wikipedia.com/XHTML">XHTML</a></li>
 </ul>
 <ul class="feeds"><!--one or more-->
   <li><a rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="URL">RSS
2.0</a></li> <!-- added alternate, type and version as per current
usage-->
   <li><a rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" href="URL">Atom
1.0</a></li>
 </ul>
 <span class="description">
 Artikel und Experimente zu Webstandards, CSS, XHTML und Themen der
 Internettechniken
 </span>
</div>
