 &lt;p&gt;John Allsopp, Mr Microformats, has posted a new article on visitmix.com: &lt;a href="http://visitmix.com/Articles/Microformats-The-Quiet-Revolution"&gt;The Quiet Revolution&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The highlighted area in yellow above shows that my personal blog has two embedded microformats.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Having known John Allsopp for many years, and a recent purchaser of his Microformats book: to see his inspiration for this project is way amazing.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Microsoft, more than talking about Microformats, has released a &lt;a href="http://visitmix.com/Lab/Oomph"&gt;Toolkit available for download now: named Oomph&lt;/a&gt;. Comprising an Internet Explorer Addin, HTML overlay built using jQuery, CSS styles and a Windows LiveWriter plugin: the kit takes Microformats from the world of theory into practical use.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Using &lt;a href="http://jquery.com/"&gt;jQuery&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://www.codeplex.com/Oomph"&gt;source code published on Codeplex.com&lt;/a&gt; under the Ms-PL; (Microsoft Public License)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Go get it. Get micro now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9010890" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/nickhodge/archive/tags/microformats/default.aspx">microformats</category></item></channel></rss>
