Blog Description Brainstorming

Thoughts on a microformat to markup the information on a blog about the blog itself. E.g. links to feeds, names of authors etc.

It seems like a lot of the goals for this can be achieved with hAtom.

Blog name (e.g: "John Doe's Blog") == feed/title
Blog URI (e.g: http://example.org/ ) == feed/id
- Or perhaps <link rel="alternate" ... /> per Atom Feed Autodiscovery (discussion), LINK tag for pointing to a page’s RSS feed.
Language used for the blog, read-able by machines (e.g: "en-US" or "de") == [xml:]lang
Topics covered by the blog == feed/category
A small logo image == feed/author hCard's logo
A short description == perhaps atomSubtitle?

What about location?
