Blog Info Examples
Contributors
Introduction
Examples of what people actually publish on the Web when discussing, linking to, referring to blogs beyond just linking to them using a person or organization's name, which is a solved problem (use <cite> and hCard). Examples of beyond that include listing one or more feeds for the blog being referenced.
This is the "blog reference" equivalent of the media-info-examples.
Emphasis on Practical, Simple, and Minimal
This document is deliberately restricted to examples that are:
- Actual examples in practice on the Web with URLs to the originals.
- Simple and minimalist. As simple as possible.
Once there are sufficient blog-info-examples, and documentation of any known blog-info-formats, we'll hopefully start a blog-info-brainstorming page to do aggregate analysis of the examples.

Overall Notes About Examples
These examples are specifically limited to pages/sites/blogs that reference a one or more blogs and information about them like their feeds. The case of a a blog describing itself is a separate effort that involves more detail. See blog-description-format for on that.
Note also that this has similarity to the media-info-examples work (media references sometimes include references to alternate formats), and the citation work as well, though the citation work is focussed more on references to print (non-online, non-live) media.
