I’m back from vacation and catching up on things. Charlie Wood asks:
Since you were talking about microformats at the Gilbane show, I’m hoping you can help me. I’ve been banging my head against hCalendar support in some RSS feeds all day, and I’m hoping you can help me see something obvious that I’m blind to. There’s a demo feed that is valid RSS, and has everything (I think) needed for hCalendar support, but when I run it through Technorati’s Events Feed Service I get back a calendar with no events. What am I missing?
I recalled a time when I tried to do this as well— and remembered discovering the service only handles XHTML as it uses Brian Suda’s X2V, which he describes as “a BETA implementation of an XSLT file to transform and hCa* encoded XHTML file into the corresponding vCard/iCalendar file.” I verified that this still is the case, but considering Technorati’s continuing support of open microformats standards, I imagine that’ll change.
