Cote is something of an evangelist about Microformats, and he and I have had a couple of discussions about using them a little more widely in blogging. Both of us use the hCard format on our About pages, and I wondered aloud whether the hReview format could be used to add a parseable structure to a blog entry - so this is the experiment. It will be interesting to see whether or not Performancing and Typepad can handle this ...

Well the answer is that it looks OK in Performancing, but leaves a little to be desired in TP!

[further update] Well, after cycling it through Performancing it again, it looks considerably better (the spacing DOES seem a little strange ...)

[Next update] I'm a bit slow ... Cote has already done it (although he doesn't brag about it) when discussing a new service from Yahoo! called Upcoming - he is also using the hReview format. Not bad for a guy on holidays ...
