I'm adding hCard and XFN to my tabletop RPG site, http://www.obsidianportal.com
Every user has a profile page and a list of friends. Following some of the guides I've seen, I've added hCard information for the user's profile, plus hCard+XFN for the friends list. Since it was so easy, I went hog-wild and started adding hCards everywhere a user's avatar was displayed. So, every comment, every recent-update, you-name-it. (Note: It's not there as of 2008-04-18 because I haven't deployed the code to the live server yet. Still some bugs...) Now the problem I'm dealing with is that I have possibly dozens of hCards on the profile page (user + friends + recent updates + comments). If a spider finds the page and looks for hCards, there is no (easy) way to tell that the profile belongs to user A and not A's friends. To combat that, I've added a self-referential link with a rel="me" on it. It looks like this: <a href="http://www.obsidianportal.com/profile/micah"; class="url uid" rel="me"><span class="fn">Micah</span></a> (Note: view e-mail source if the previous text doesn't display an entire a-tag.) Still, this uses XFN which is outside the realm of hCard and that seems a little iffy to me. Am I missing something? Has anyone else dealt with this problem? I noticed that LiveJournal only has an hCard for the actual user on their profile page, and uses XFN without hCard for the friends. Is this a better idea? Thanks!
