Re: [WSG] vCard File
Oh, you so just put a huge smile on my face :D Thanks for the technorati link. I was unaware of this, and it makes all the work I did on microformats on my staff listing page worth it. (http://www.swinburne.edu.au/ads/about/staff.htm) Thanks.

Re: [WSG] vCard File
A vCard is an industry standard format. It works in Outlook or Windows Address Book in Windows, Entourage and Address Book in OS X and if your mobile phone was released in the last 5 or so years, likely it as well. vCard files are often attached to outgoing emails in the corporate world as a better alternative to a text signature. If you're considering including vCards, it might be worth checking out microformats (http://microformats.org/) while you're at it.

Re: [WSG] vCard File
vCard's (.vcf files) will also open in a Mac OS X Address book. Not everyone will have a VCF compatible address book and hence an attempt should be made to educate/explain their use. You should mark up the displayed address information as an hCard: http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard ... and then use the technorati vcard generator http://technorati.com/contact to scrape the page and produce your vcard for you Can someone please suggest a cool icon for vCard downloads?

RE: [WSG] vCard File
Hi Joyce, It looks like vCard is a standard, so I guess the user's email client would pick it up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard HTH, Paul *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
