I bounce around the web a lot searching out new information. Yesterday I stumbled across a video presentation given by Kevin Marks and Mary Hodder on Microformats. This in turn inspired me to stop being lazy and fix my blog to support the hAtom format.

I use Wordpress as my blog software. This makes it really easy to change the templates. I spent about 15 minutes skimming the hAtom standard. Using the examples as a guide it took about 20 minutes to convert over the posts. I jumped over to a site called the Almost Universal Mocroformat Parser to verify that my blog could be read as an hAtom feed. Everything looked good.

So in less than an hour I was able to convert over the main site page. Maybe if I get ambitious I will convert the archives and single post pages too. Who knows. It could happen.
