MyBlogLog Adds Additional Microformat Support

For some time now, MyBlogLog has supported the "rel=me" portion of the XFN (XHTML Friends Network) microformat.  This allowed members to point to the various bits of their identity online.  Today we are adding further XFN microformat support by publishing members' friend connections (rel="contact") on MyBlogLog.  This will allow for the discovery of contacts and verification of bi-directional connections.

MyBlogLog has also added Tantek and Kevin Marks's rel-tag (rel="tag") microformat on all of the member and community tags on MyBlogLog.com.  This will help give further context to the information available on the site.

As our buddy and UED-wiz Micah Laaker would say, "Good times!"

Keep following the MyBlogLog Blog (subscribe)... More great new features and open-standards support coming very soon.

Hey there, guys.... congrats on getting this launched. Good times, indeed. :)

Now, all I need is MicroID support on profiles to allow lightweight verification between my other profiles: "http://microid.org/"

Thanks for helping connect up these relationships!

Thanks Micah... And, Yes, we really need to add MicroID support. It is so simple.

You can essentially do the same thing with bi-directional XFN -- which we already support -- but it can't hurt to support both.

I'll see what I can do to get it pushed live next week.
