Did you know that Antarctica has its own top-level domain, .aq ?
A couple of days ago I stated that I hadn’t yet begun looking for a navigation link plugin for WordPress yet, because I imagined that I could write one just as quickly myself rather than sift through a zillion plugins that all do the same thing in addition to suffering from bad cases of optionitis.

Right now in addition to the usual rel-stylesheet (for CSS) rel-alternate (for RSS feeds) and rel-pingback (for pingbacks) there are also a rel-start resource link in the header pointing to the home page of the blog.
Here are some additional relational resource links and types to consider.
