ConecoClub: /* New Examples */

<h1>hReview Examples in the wild </h1>
This page is an '''informative''' section of the [[hreview|hReview]] specification.

The following sites have published [[hreview|hReviews]], and thus are a great place to start for anyone looking for examples "in the wild" to try parsing, indexing, organizing etc.

If you publish hReviews on your own site, feel free to add it to the '''top''' of this list. Please be sure to include at least one URL to a page on your site that includes actual [[hreview|hReview]] markup. Examples added without a URL to a page with hReview markup may be removed.

Want to get started with writing an [[hreview|hReview]]? Use the [http://microformats.org/code/hreview/creator hReview creator] to write a review and publish it on your blog or site.
