Microformats overview posted in places
On Digital Web and Vitamin John Allsopp has written The Big Picture on Microformats and Add microformats magic to your site. If you have been wondering what the heck I have been talking about when I looking at Microformats in education then this might help. So far I have stuck hCard on the footer of the UW home page, had Mitch ensure UW Events supports hCal and even had him stick some hCard into the people search results on the search off the home page.
For those Dreamweaver users out there, after you have read John’s articles and you want to check this out, a great way to do that is just go and grab Drew’s extension for Dreamweaver and create a couple simple things. Look at the code.
I am just taking a look at how maintaining Microformats will work for Dreamweaver users that support Contribute folks. I have a feeling the extra classes to wreak some havoc but there may be a simple way to manage and even enhance it. If not I would like to know and hopefully find some workarounds.
