Microformats Workshop Summit ~ A Blog Not Limited

I'm honored and excited to be giving a three-hour microformats workshop next Friday, and I hope you can join me!

Microformats Workshop Summit: Friday, January 15, 2010; 9:00 am – 12 noon, CT; Individual ticket: $250.00; Meeting room: $700.00

Be There Without Being There

The workshop is part of Environments for Humans' online summit series, The Workshop Summits.

Yep! Online! That means you don't have to go anywhere. You can sit in the comfort of your own home (or office, or favorite coffee joint or whatever) and learn everything I can tell you about microformats in three hours. All you need is a computer and an internet connection. You can participate with me and other attendees via live chat.

Sound good? Yeah, I think so too.

So go register. Now. And, just because I love you, save 10% off of registration (both individual tickets and meeting rooms) with the discount code WKSHOPEMILYL.

What You Can Expect

Three hours gives me a lot of time to cover microformats, from the general to the specific.

You'll learn the basics of microformats:

The history microformats; what they are and what they aren't
The foundations of microformats, including POSH
How to identify web content suited for microformats

You'll also learn why you should be using microformats:

User experience enhancements
More meaningful search
Standards
Tools available that leverage microformats

And you'll get your hands dirty with exercises to help you publish microformats right away:

Elemental microformats, including XFN
Compound microformats, including hCard, hCalendar
Authoring tools
Validation tools

But That's Not All …

My microformats workshop is just one of four great workshops in the The Workshop Summits next week. You should also check out:
