Hi, A little while ago I emailed the group about the micro-summary format, and the consensus was that there is sufficient meta data description information available for me to use without having to re-implement the wheel.
So far I have implemented the meta description parsing, Dublin core description parsing, hCard parsing and rel-tag parsing on my project and I am looking for "beta" testers to ping my site so that I can see the load and see if I can parse more hCards in the wild. Now to the crux of this email. I would be very grateful if anyone can ping the following url when they update their blog: http://www.topicala.com/ping/[Your url to the blog post] this will help me test my site - and obviously your information posted via Microformats will be indexed by another service. Alternatively, rather than update your ping server list you can place the following image (img src="http://www.topicala.com/imageRefer/[your root domain uri]/topicala.png - you can omit your root domain if you wish) on your site and I can track it from there. If your site uses the image your posts will appear on http://www.topicala.com/popular/ which displays the results of the uF parsing. I will be implementing hCard searching and better related tag posos in the near future. Implementation wise, I am using the Text::Microformat's perl module (http://search.cpan.org/~kgrennan/Text-Microformat-0.04/lib/Text/Microformat.pm) by Kevin Grennan to parse all the relevant information. I would greatly appreciate any feedback, discussion, suggestions,comments and concerns. (you can send the comments directly to me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you don't want to clog this discussion list up) The site styling is pretty poor at the moment and I need to POSH it up and ensure that it promotes the use of uF as well as consuming them. Kind Regards, Paul Kinlan _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
