"Microformats are small and gentle syntactic touch-ups for your web pages. They have one major purpose: to make your data readable by both man and machine. They are the technical diplomats of the Web; allowing the same piece of data to be shared among many applications and people. What is more, they do this in an easy and pragmatic way."

Microformats represent a valuable step in the effort of structuring information, it's a simple but powerful solution to information annotation.

"In a design world overly abundant with male figures, it's great to see a female designer taking it one step further. Veerle hails from Belgium and by the looks of her work on this website (and others), everyone could take a page out of her book design-wise."

"Elegant and fresh, Veerle's re-designed site is one of the best-looking blogs I've seen in a while. The attention to detail really sets this one apart, as it seems that no page element has been forgotten. The color scheme works really well, providing just the right amount of contrast, the pages are readable and the content is well-organized. If I were to make one suggestion though, I'd add a bit more contrast to the various section headers."
