We've Got Microformats

We've Got Microformats by David Nemesis.
A "microformat" is this new idea on the internets: that when representing certain structured data in HTML for the web, we should mark it up in standard ways that make it easy to slurp up and convert into vCards, iCalendars and whatever else. So I looked into the hCalendar microformat for Cmere, and not only did it make building the markup for an invite a bit cleaner and easier, now people who have the right Firefox extension or Safari bookmarklet can just load events directly into iCal from the page. Nice.

Works like a charm in Safari; haven't tried it in Firefox or The Devil (aka Internet Explorer).
