MapA long time fan of Cousin Brucie as a lover of oldies and a New Yorker. Glad to see he’s going to be on local radio.
Consistent Microformats
One of the problems in consuming microformats is consistency. There are a variety of different ways people structure their pages.
Many people have written code to solve this problem. I do it in my library, Parse This. Aaron Parecki does it in his XRay library. The Microsub specification has a stricter jf2 output in order to simplify the client having to make all sorts of checks.
This is the point. It is easier to consume a clean and consistent parsed microformats structure. Some of this would probably be solved by some consensus on the matter.
So, what does Parse This, and its ilk do? I lack a name for this sort of code.
- It has two options: feed or single return
- Feed tries to identify and standardize an h-feed. This means if there are multiple top level h- items, it will try to convert it into an h-feed.
- Single will try to identify the top level h- item that matches the URL of the page.
- In both cases, it will run authorship discovery in order to find the representative author and add this as an author property to the h-feed, or single h-entry etc.
- It will try to run post type discovery.
Tornado watch here till 10pm… tornadoes don’t seem like a New York thing.
Syndication Links for WordPress 4.2.4 is out. It tries for a few fixes to the scheduling of syndications, refreshes the icons, and introduces one new feature. A custom query. /?syndication=twitter.com or such. It tries to return all posts that have a matching syndication link and can be added to any archive page.
Doing IndieWebCamp West Hack Day, and added another Simple Location for WordPress trick. I was doing custom rewrite improvements for Post Kinds, and added the ability to generate map views from any taxonomy or user. Just add /map to the archive URL.
Got out for a bit… isolated but needed air
Bingo time… excitement galore.
A excitement packed Saturday night.

The former Stevensville Hotel… I had some good memories there.
