Users on the New Blogger may be pleased to discover there is a nice third-party tool for generating a profile section that is hCard-compatible!

Roger Costello has created a nice introductory S5 presentation (more on S5) for hCards.

hCards, among other things, are a building block of hAtom.

Please note that no template is ever 100% hAtom compatible on Blogger. There are those that come really close, but datetime-design-pattern dates cannot be generated on Blogger and thus the ‘updated’ field is always invalid.

I have made some minor bug fixes to the del.icio.us, pinging, and trackback script for the new Blogger. It also now saves trackback URLs when you save a draft.

I have added variants to my Singpolyma Templates for my new asynchronous peek-a-boo comments.
