So you wanna use microformats?

Microformats are designed to be similar to current markup styles. This means that it is quite possible that you won't have to do much work to produce microformats on your site.

  • Do you have events information on your site? Then mark those events up with hCalendar.
  • Do you have people, organizations, or contact information? Then mark those up with hCard.
  • Do you have an explicit copyright license on your content? Then markup the link to your license with rel-license.
  • Do you publish social network / relationship info? Then mark that up with XFN.
  • Are you tagging things? Then use rel-tag (for your own stuff) or xFolk (for tagging any URL).
  • Are you publishing lists or outlines? Then use XOXO.
