Since this is a sample for a microformat proposal, what better title to use than the one that I first read regarding the subject. So, without further adieu, here's a sample. One other quick note: I may edit this blog entry from time-to-time, adding more samples.

On the microformats.org process page, it is recommended that you not name your new proposed format hsomething.

I'm still around. Well, I warned you, I may not write often. I hope, though, that there are still some readers out there (or new ones will find this blog).First, a very quick update in fast-forward.

I've heard of microformats here and there over the last 3 or 4 years, but until now, I haven't really looked into them. I saw this book for sale on Amazon.com at a price I couldn't resist.

I was late to jump on the Firefox bandwagon. I jumped on around 2.08 or so and upgraded all the way up to 3.0.10 as recently as two weeks ago. I upgrade Firefox as soon as I can, though I admit, I waited a bit to upgrade to Firefox 3; and it seems for good reason.

Also, it took me so long to write, that I didn't want to spend much more time formatting it. So, if it looks a bit messy, I'll try to get back and clean it up a bit later.

Well, don't say I didn't give you fair warning about the frequency of posting on this blog.Anyway, call it bad timing, but I started this blog about 8 weeks before the end of the semester. Four weeks later, of course, all the professors are cramming assignments down our throat trying to get in as much as they can because they realized that the semester is nearly over!

A lot of work has already been done, but there is still a lot that has yet to be done. If you need to get a quality, professional network in place, but don’t want to spend the money (or don’t have the money) to buy the requisite hardware, eBay is a great place to shop.

We are a very small company with limited resources. But, our network is getting ridiculously old.

Unlike many people, I don't belong to any social networking sites, and until now, I haven't blogged. I never got into MySpace, or Facebook, or any of the others that are out there simply because I don't have time. By the time I got around to thinking about social networking, it has become quite obvious how dangerous social networking can be: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DiscoveringCode/~3/rRVs229UESk/biting-bullet.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Craig S.)<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DiscoveringCode/~4/rRVs229UESk" height="1" width="1"/>http://discoveringcode.blogspot.com/2009/03/biting-bullet.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5841632161546703012.post-389221912806136645Wed, 13 Apr 1977 14:17:00 +00002009-03-04T09:20:27.397-05:00DisclaimerThis is my personal blog and does not represent the views or opinions of my employer or any institution that I attend, am a member of, or may otherwise be affiliated with, in any way.
