XFN

Hey,

This is a very small update to let you know that my website is now using XFN for linking to friends.

XFNâ„¢ (XHTML Friends Network) is a simple way to represent human relationships using hyperlinks. In recent years, blogs and blogrolls have become the fastest growing area of the Web. XFN enables web authors to indicate their relationship(s) to the people in their blogrolls simply by adding a 'rel' attribute to their <a href> tags.

I am currently using XFN for my Friends' links on the left-hand-side of the page:

<a href="http://youreadmyblog.info" rel="friend met">Craig Bryson</a>
<a href="http://www.mattjewell.com" rel="contact">Matt Jewell</a>
<a href="http://www.enaresh.com" rel="acquaintance">eNaresh</a>

It's quite a cute little system where you put keywords in the rel="" section of an [b]a[/b] tag to represent how you know the person. In Craig's link we have the keywords 'friend' and 'met' because he is both a friend and someone who I have met in person.

Although entirely pointless, I think it is a nice little system and could even some day have a purpose if everyone were to use it. I am displaying the little 88x31 button below and I invite all you blog owners to click it and see what it is all about .

Don't forget I am always looking for link trades too, so if you would like one, feel free to leave a comment here .
