🎂 Congrats @microformats.org on 20 years! #microformats20
Even after 20 years, people keep discovering new ways of using #microformats:
* @artlung.com: "WML, WAP, & Microformats Demo!" (https://lab.artlung.com/wml/faux)
> Because WML elements may have the class attribute

That adds to the list of languages with working microformats examples:
* HTML — modern, unversioned as well as every version since HTML4
* HTML3 — see https://microformats.org/wiki/html3
* SVG — see https://microformats.org/wiki/svg
* XHTML — every version, 1.0, 1.1, 2.0
and now also:
* WML — https://microformats.org/wiki/wml
Literally any HTML-like or XML-like language that has a space-separated class attribute can work with microformats.
In constrast, every alternative to microformats (most now defunct) required adding new attributes, or worse, entirely new elements, which meant revising every language one at a time (or use of fragile XML Namespaces), resulting in supporting only 1-2 languages at most (HTML and XHTML) in practice, and nothing else.
Re-using the "class" attribute based on the existing footpath that web designers made for encoding additional semantics into their HTML, and the similarly extensible "rel" attribute, was one of the best design decisions in any extension format ever.
After 20 years, microformats continue to serve as another example of “loosely joined” approaches being more adaptable, reliable, resilient, and longer lasting than “tightly coupled”.

Launched a casual blog section on my #PersonalWebsite! It's been an itch for a long while. Didn't take as long as I feared to implement it into my site generator given the framework was already there for my articles. Dates in post URLs aren't hackable yet but I'll get there someday :) For now I just wanted a chill space for quick brain dumps. Mission accomplished!

Launched a casual blog section on my #PersonalWebsite! It's been an itch for a long while. Didn't take as long as I feared to implement it into my site generator given the framework was already there for my articles. Dates in post URLs aren't hackable yet but I'll get there someday :) For now I just wanted a chill space for quick brain dumps. Mission accomplished!

It’s the 20th anniversary of the launch of microformats.org! So many blogs and social platforms still use Microformats today, including Micro.blog and Mastodon. A simple, useful data format for the IndieWeb.

WML, WAP & Microformats - had a bit of fun playing with some retro-markup which commemorates a brief window where it seemed like an alternate syntax for markup would be how we'd look at pages on our phones -- and also 20 years of microformats

Was thinking I should maybe distinguish between actual notes and replies. The way I used to, before I moved to WordPress and a block theme some two or three years ago. Have my notes section again look more like, you know, Mastodon.
Maybe I should move my “bookmarks” into a section of their own, too. Create my own little Delicious clone.
I initially decided against “explicit post types” because, well, post types, as far as “social readers” are concerned, are anyway implied by posts’ microformats. (Technically, an article, note, like or listen on this site, regardless of its URL, could be … anything.)
But … I already decided most people probably don’t care about my “listens” or “likes” … and moved them into a corner of their own. So why stop there?
Speaking of microformats, half my bookmarks should probably quotations instead—but then again, who’s keeping score?
Speaking of microformats, I recently learned about implied properties. Like, here’s me carefully, or so I thought, marking up a reply context, only for microformats parsers to, well, assume things.
So, yeah, despite me working on things like automatically adding microformats to just about any modern WordPress theme, and having a thing for semantic markup in general, I’m not entirely sure they’re it. My money’s on ActivityPub.

💙 Flashback Friday #12 💙 – My Coke Studios
My Coke Studios was Coca-Cola’s surprisingly stylish venture into the world of virtual social platforms—a digital lounge that mixed brand marketing with early-2000s internet culture in a way that felt oddly ahead of its time. Unlike other virtual worlds of the era, which often leaned into pixelated chaos or fantasy aesthetics, My Coke Studios embraced a sleek, modern vibe. Players entered a polished digital space that looked more like a trendy nightclub than a cartoon playground. With smooth animations, glowing lights, and minimalist design, it stood out immediately as something different—especially for a project backed by a soda company.
The heart of My Coke Studios was social interaction, but with a twist: music was the core theme. Users could attend virtual concerts, hang out in music lounges, and engage with live-streamed content—all within their own customizable rooms. Branded furniture and exclusive Coke-themed items added a collector’s edge, giving players something to show off in their spaces. Much like Habbo Hotel or IMVU, there were elements of self-expression and status, but My Coke Studios had a more refined, futuristic touch. It wasn’t trying to be everything—it was trying to be cool. And, for a brief moment, it was.
What made My Coke Studios particularly interesting was how seamlessly it merged entertainment and branding without feeling overly commercial. Yes, everything was Coke-branded, from the furniture to the collectibles, but it didn’t feel forced. Instead, it was almost aspirational. The platform felt immersive, like a well-curated marketing campaign you actually wanted to be part of. Players weren’t just there for the freebies; they were there for the vibe, the music, and the social energy that made the space feel alive.
Unfortunately, like many experimental digital worlds of the 2000s, My Coke Studios was short-lived. The servers went quiet, the virtual lounges closed, and the sleek rooms faded into digital memory. But for those who experienced it, My Coke Studios remains a fascinating blip in internet history.

Did you ever hang out in My Coke Studios? What do you remember most about it? How do you think My Coke Studios compared to other virtual worlds like Habbo or IMVU? Do you still have screenshots, memories, or stories from your time in the digital Coke lounge? Feel free to share them!

"text": "\ud83d\udc99 Flashback Friday #12 \ud83d\udc99 \u2013 My Coke StudiosMy Coke Studios was Coca-Cola\u2019s surprisingly stylish venture into the world of virtual social platforms\u2014a digital lounge that mixed brand marketing with early-2000s internet culture in a way that felt oddly ahead of its time. Unlike other virtual worlds of the era, which often leaned into pixelated chaos or fantasy aesthetics, My Coke Studios embraced a sleek, modern vibe. Players entered a polished digital space that looked more like a trendy nightclub than a cartoon playground. With smooth animations, glowing lights, and minimalist design, it stood out immediately as something different\u2014especially for a project backed by a soda company.The heart of My Coke Studios was social interaction, but with a twist: music was the core theme. Users could attend virtual concerts, hang out in music lounges, and engage with live-streamed content\u2014all within their own customizable rooms. Branded furniture and exclusive Coke-themed items added a collector\u2019s edge, giving players something to show off in their spaces. Much like Habbo Hotel or IMVU, there were elements of self-expression and status, but My Coke Studios had a more refined, futuristic touch. It wasn\u2019t trying to be everything\u2014it was trying to be cool. And, for a brief moment, it was.What made My Coke Studios particularly interesting was how seamlessly it merged entertainment and branding without feeling overly commercial. Yes, everything was Coke-branded, from the furniture to the collectibles, but it didn\u2019t feel forced. Instead, it was almost aspirational. The platform felt immersive, like a well-curated marketing campaign you actually wanted to be part of. Players weren\u2019t just there for the freebies; they were there for the vibe, the music, and the social energy that made the space feel alive.Unfortunately, like many experimental digital worlds of the 2000s, My Coke Studios was short-lived. The servers went quiet, the virtual lounges closed, and the sleek rooms faded into digital memory. But for those who experienced it, My Coke Studios remains a fascinating blip in internet history.\u2014\u2013 Did you ever hang out in My Coke Studios? What do you remember most about it? How do you think My Coke Studios compared to other virtual worlds like Habbo or IMVU? Do you still have screenshots, memories, or stories from your time in the digital Coke lounge?

🌈 Coming soon!
I’m working on a “Join the Fediverse” sicker, I love that I've been able to create something with bright colours, and a message close to my heart.
It's not in production just yet, but it’s almost there.
Would you rock one of these? Drop a boost or reply!
