I had a heck of a time getting it formatted in the blog body myself. Thanks for pointing out the microformat page. I think I tossed that in my del.icio.us links awhile ago and never pulled it back out. Now that I figured all this out on blogger I'm actually reimplementing it on my own server so I can do a lot more for the project. Blogger is *so* limiting, but obviously meant for the casual blogger. I'll still update the current GreenerMaps page and use the geo format in the new project.

One minor correction. The "geo" microformat for marking up latitude and longitude information has been drafted based on subsetting the extremely popular vCard and thus hCard standard, take a look: http://microformats.org/wiki/geo But it looks like your use of "geo_..." is actually for named locations with a name, lat long, address, and a note that you can already do today with hCard: http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard E.g. instead of: <div class="location" lat="64.30" long="-110.17"> <div class="summary">Sustainable Diamaonds</div> <div class="detail"> Diavik diamond mines are sustainable Mines located in the Northwest Territories. </div> <div class="link">homepage</div> <div class="geo_name">Diavik diamond mine</div> <div class="geo_city">Lac de Gras</div> <div class="geo_region">Northwest Territories</div> <div class="geo_country">Canada</div> </div> You want: <div class="vcard"> <div clas="geo"><span class="latitude">64.30</span><span class="longitude">-110.17</span></div> <div class="summary">Sustainable Diamaonds</div> <div class="note"> Diavik diamond mines are sustainable Mines located in the Northwest Territories. </div> <a class="url" href="homepageurl">homepage</a> <div class="fn org">Diavik diamond mine</div> <div class="adr"> <div class="locality">Lac de Gras</div> <div class="region">Northwest Territories</div> <div class="country-name">Canada</div> </div> </div> By using hCard, any user will be able to add these locations to their address book.

One minor correction. The “geo” microformat for marking up latitude and longitude information has been drafted based on subsetting the extremely popular vCard and thus hCard standard, take a look:

http://microformats.org/wiki/geo

But it looks like your use of “geo_…” is actually for named locations with a name, lat long, address, and a note that you can already do today with hCard:

http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard

E.g. instead of:

<div class=”location” lat=”64.30″ long=”-110.17″>
<div class=”summary”>Sustainable Diamaonds</div>
<div class=”detail”>
Diavik diamond mines are sustainable Mines
located in the Northwest Territories.
</div>
<div class=”link”>homepage</div>
<div class=”geo_name”>Diavik diamond mine</div>
<div class=”geo_city”>Lac de Gras</div>
<div class=”geo_region”>Northwest Territories</div>
<div class=”geo_country”>Canada</div>
</div>

You want:

<div class=”vcard”>
<div clas=”geo”><span class=”latitude”>64.30</span><span class=”longitude”>-110.17</span></div>
<div class=”summary”>Sustainable Diamaonds</div>
<div class=”note”>
Diavik diamond mines are sustainable Mines
located in the Northwest Territories.
</div>
<a class=”url” href=”homepageurl”>homepage</a>
<div class=”fn org”>Diavik diamond mine</div>
<div class=”adr”>
<div class=”locality”>Lac de Gras</div>
<div class=”region”>Northwest Territories</div>
<div class=”country-name”>Canada</div>
</div>
</div>

By using hCard, any user will be able to add these locations to their address book.

Give it a try!

Thanks,
