{{stub}}

== Publishers ==

A permalink for a blog post should hyperlink with <code>rel="syndication"</code> to copies that the author has syndicated onto other sites.

This is a page to page relationship, and thus blog posts in aggregate form, e.g. archive pages, home/updates pages, should NOT use rel="syndication".

== Consumers ==

Consuming applications can use rel=syndication in a number of ways:
* site specific post and other [http://indiewebcamp.com/webactions webaction] buttons can discover the syndicated copy for their site.
* connecting POSSE'd comment posts to each other and to the POSSE'd copies of original posts. See http://indiewebcamp.com/comment#POSSE_a_comment for more.

== Alternatives ==
=== u-syndication ===
In addition rel=syndication on links from a blog post to syndicated copies of it, those links can also have the markup:
* <code>class="u-syndication"</code> which will likely get picked up as part of their containing [[h-entry]] object.

Advantages:
* Blog posts can use on links to syndicated copies, in any context, e.g. blog posts in aggregate form like archive pages or home/updates pages, may use class="u-syndication".

== Examples in the wild ==
