I just put up a new calendar in the vCalendar microformat on one of my websites. However, I don't know how I can check if the format is valid and the dates are right. Apparently, I can't import it directly to Google Calendar. Is there an easy way to transform vCalendar data into a real calendar easily? ...
Microformats feel as though they want to be popular but I'm not hearing too much about them; maybe I travel in the wrong circles. I'm keen to know if you are using them on your site and whether they have proven popular. I'm also keen to understand how you track their uptake/usage and how they have worked for you in your particular scen...

Did anybody successfully manage to correctly export a vcard from a Website containing Microformats (hcard) with this Firefox Plugin? When doing so, I end up with weird characters instead of (german/spanish) Umlauts. While it's really easy to provide vcards as well, I would like to know if someone managed to correct the charset/character ...
I've been working to apply the hCalendar microformat to the events displayed on my web site. However, from my research, I get the impression that microformats are not recommended (or at least looked down upon by some). Instead, RDF seems to be the preferred way for representing semantic-rich information. However, I'm confounded by RDF...
Is it possible to include an email in the hCard micro-format by linking to an contact form, instead of directly listing the email-address? I would prefer this because of spam concerns. ...
For example, if I had <a href="http://www.example.com">My friend Bill</a> or <a href="http://www.example.com" rel="friend">My friend Bill</a> Will Google for example give extra weight to the second because I specified they are a friend? ...
I wonder if anyone can help? After Google announced that it will take note of RDFa / Microformats for online recipes, I've been looking into this for a couple of recipe based sites I run. However we simply don't have all the required data to fulfill any of the standards. Does this matter? Will search engine crawlers still make the most...
Has there been an announcement (outside microformats.org) that the value-class-pattern is fully accessible? e.g. given <abbr class="value" title="2008-06-24">this Tuesday</abbr>, will a screen reader say "24 June 2008" or will it say "2008 dash 6 dash 24"? History Microformats came along, and were great, except that dates etc were sto...
I'm looking for opinions on whether microformats should be used to name JSON elements. For instance, there is a microformat for physical addresses, that looks like this: <div class="adr"> <div class="street-address">665 3rd St.</div> <div class="extended-address">Suite 207</div> <span class="locality">San Francisco</span>, ...
Do you use microformats in your web projects? If yes then why? If no then why? If yes then for which things do you use? Is there any alternate of microformats in HTML 5 ? I haven't used microformats yet. Should i start to use now or not much need? ...
Hi. is there any difference between using one of this technologies? I'm building now a site using HTML5, and I'm having hard time to decide which of them to use. I cannot see any difference between them, else the syntax size, which i'm not quiet sure is an advantage for the microformats side. ...
Hi. I'm trying to use the vCard Microformat standard to provide a VCF export option on a web page, but when I try to export to Outlook 2003, it doesn't show the phone numbers at all. Here's the vCard code in the page; is this normal for Outlook to not pull in the phone numbers? <div id="" class="vcard" style="float:left; display:inline-...
Hey guys, I am using microformats for a project and with this I have the following Problem. I use a Javascript to protect the email addresses, but when saving the microformats as a vCard it puts the javascript code in the email address field. //<![CDATA[ document.write("<n uers="znvygb:vasb100irner56arg">vasb100irner56arg<057n>".replac...
I have a database where various student musicians have their specialisms and departments listed (for example somebody could specialise in violin in the Historical Performance department). Also for example, consider Johann Sebastian Bach - he is a musician and composer in the Baroque style. Logically perhaps I'd want his specialism to fal...
