# 
lia heya! quick question
# lia I have an /about.html page on my site that holds all biographical information about me, because the main page is already super full. If I put my h-card there instead of the main page, is that a functional problem?
# lia I would imagine that it's not found by the (rare) software that actually tries to find an h-card.
# 
[tantek] hey lia, it depends on the type of software! there's been some experimenting with keeping a minimal h-card on your homepage and then linking to a more extensive one in an about or other page. generic crawlers that follow links in general will find it, and then they can decide on their own which h-card(s) to use for a site, perhaps preferring the more thorough h-card or attempting to combine them. if you're looking for specific IndieWeb
# lia Thank you! I ended up actually going with putting the h-card on my homepage after all, and just providing an extensive about-me page in addition.
