However, with the popularity of
microformats increasing all the time, they??™re still worthy of investigation, hence my including

Online microformat contacts resources
If you decide to use microformats to enhance your site??™s contact details, there are two
websites you need to bookmark. The first is Technorati??™s Contacts Feed Service, at
www.technorati.com/contacts. This enables you to input the URL of a page with hCard
information (i.e., the sort of page created in the previous exercise) and get a vCard out of
it, which can be added to your address book.
Usefully, the site??™s system enables you to automate the system via the kind of web page
created earlier. If you upload a page like the one created in the previous exercise, and then
add the following code (amending the URL after contacts/), you??™ll have a link on the
contacts page that uses the microformat information to create a vCard that users can
download.
Download vCard. (This process
?? may take a few seconds.)
A second handy resource is Tantek ?‡elik??™s hCard creator (amusingly titled the hCard-omatic),
at www.microformats.org/code/hcard/creator. This enables you to automate
much of the process from the previous exercise??”you put your values into the field on the
left, and the code is built live in the field at the right of the page.
