This is a test of the XFN Markup. XFN is a MicroFormat for signifying relationships on the web. As it stands at the time of publishing, you won't see any difference with these links. Visually they will look like any other link on the page. However, when I upload the new style sheets you will see small icons to the right of each of the links below. Those icons will illustrate the relationships between me and the (fictional) people below. MicroFormats are very small additions to standard HTML that are used to signify things like relationships (and other concepts) to people who can read them. Typically they require something to indicate their presence (like the images you can't see below), but that doesn't require any additional software. I've got some cool graphics to be uploaded that will show these relationships really well.
This is a friend I have not met.
