Cheap Tricks VIII - Blogger hCard

hCard is a plain old semantic html (POSH) microformat of a vCard. If you look on the right-hand side you will see my hCard.

All it is is a vCard, just using plain old HTML. What's the big deal, then? Because microformats are going to be added into the next generation of browsers (already slated for FireFox 3). They are just little snippets of HTML that, if the browser finds, it can take action on. If you are viewing this post in FF3 you will be able to add me to your address book... you are also from the future.

If you use Blogger, fill out this form and submit. It will create an hCard page element for you.
