Gravatar Blog

Did you know that your profile pages are fully marked up using hCard? hCard is a microformat for programmatically embedding information about people, companies, organizations, and places in HTML and other markup languages. The screenshot below describes some of the main markup involved on a profile page

1. Email address marked up with class=email (only available via JS/client-side parsing due to spam-protection measures)
2. IM accounts marked up using class=url (some values only available via JS/client-side parsing due to spam-protection measures)
3. Phone numbers marked up with class=tel (using type/value subproperties)
4. Verified accounts marked up with class=url and rel=me
5. Name marked up with class=fn
6. Personal Links are marked up with class=url
7. Image (main Gravatar) is marked up using class=photo
