 <div class='vcard' id='hcard-YOUR NAME'>  
          <span class='fn'>  
          <span class='given-name'>YOUR NAME</span>  
          </span>  
        </div>  
   <a class='updated' href='http://YOUR URL ADDRESS' rel='bookmark'><data:blog.title/></a> Updated at: <abbr class='published' expr:title='data:post.timestampISO8601'><data:post.timestamp/></abbr>  
 </div>
