I just noted via Eric Meyer that the folks over at GMPG have just published the XFN 1.1 profile.

For those who do not know, XFN stands for XHTML Friends Network. It provides for a easy way to attribute relationships to hyperlinks. By simply adding an additional attribute to the hyperlink, relationships between people/sites/blogs can be indicated on the web. As such, it paves the way towards a more human web.

The XFN 1.1 profile has three authors, Eric Meyer, Tantek Çelik and Matthew Mullenweg. While Eric and Tantek have published the news (about XFN 1.1), I wonder why Matt hasn’t done so yet (at least by the time of publishing of this post).

For the best tutorial for people who want to start blogging using Wordpress, look no further than “Building your home with Wordpress” by Craig of nuclear moose candy.

On a completely unrelated note, ‘The Opt Mystic‘ shall witness a redesign soon.

I’ve had an unusually high bot activity on my blog today. Thrice the usual amount of traffic. Crawlers have beaten IE and Firefox hollow. It’ll take a while before IE and Firefox regain lost ground, here on this blog.

Happy Independence Day to one-sixth of humanity!!

Here’s hoping that the freedom, which we lost, fought for and finally reclaimed, is not taken for granted. And to each and every individual who in his/her own little way works tirelessly each day to uphold this freedom, I raise a toast!

You know you blog wayyyy too much when…

Check it out. I answered yes to many of those questions. Time to seek professional help perhaps!! ;-)
