Many people go to church on Sunday’s, I spent an hour designing my own vCard contact page. Of course that’s not all I did today, that would be ridiculous! I was able to get some of my work done in the library today and came back and had some fun. But let me tell you more about what a vCard is and maybe you’d be interested in making one yourself. Questions can be asked and posted in the comments area.

What is vCard?
Wikipedia defines (so does the rest of the world) it as “vCard is a file format standard for personal data interchange, specifically electronic business cards. vCards are often attached to e-mail messages, but can be exchanged in other ways, such as on the World Wide Web. They can contain name, address information, phone numbers, URLs, logos, photographs, and other optional fields.” It’s occasionally used with Microsoft Office.

So, it’s like a rolodex and a vCard is just one entry in someones rolodex. Simple right? Well yeah it is! A lot of people also like to create a simple personal webpage to tell people a little about themselves and their qualifications. Things that would go on these pages may include a résumé or a.k.a curriculum vitae (CV) and a vCard so one can download it and add it to their personal rolodex address book.

There’s two easy parts in this, the first part to is to actually make the vCard and the second part is to make the simple webpage that goes with presenting your vCard.
