Allsopp’s Crazy For Microformats
Though I already had mentioned his recent Vitamin article John Allsopp has been quite busy the last week or so on the microformats front and deserves another mention.
Besides his article on microformat magic he also has a new article on Digital Web Magazine titled The Big Picture on Microformats covering many ways they are being used /today/ and has also just launched microformatique a new blog covering microformat happenings around the web including places like Yahoo! and ma.gnolia.
(If John’s name isn’t familiar to you it should be, he’s been in the industry forever and has been fairly visible with his work at westciv.)
Friday Link Wrapup
Because I’ve been so quiet around these parts lately here’s a big ole list of links for the web builder in you!
- Microsoft IE7 RC1 is out
- On CSS changes in IE7
- WebKit Update News talks of recent changes including ”[m]uch improved support for HTML editing”.
- John Allsopp Explains the magic of microformats at Vitamin
- Technorati wants a professional front end person
- Ma.gnolia updates their APIs, and adds support for the del.icio.us API. I can only assume someone is madly working on Flock integration as a result.
Feeds For All With hAtom — Part 2: The Code
Recently I introduced the idea of adding an Atom feed to any document you want by using hAtom along with a local ‘proxy’ script to generate feeds to pages on your site that otherwise wouldn’t have them. The post seemed well received, but it didn’t feel complete to me without some code to allow people to quickly try it for themselves. So here’s the inevitable followup with an example PHP5 script to show how you can make the hAtom to Atom conversion transparent to a site visitor and add feeds to static pages or pages that otherwise don’t have a more typical Atom feed.
