Profile h-card about indiewebring.ws

Hey @Ruxton ! Thanks for looking at the webring!

You can find the code that handles finding representative h-card here:

https://github.com/martymcguire/indiewebring.ws/blob/master/lib/representative-h-card.js

The TL;DR is:

• it uses the (somewhat outdated) microformat-node library to parse the page and return any h-cards found.
• it checks for a card with both url and uid that point to the url they entered for their homepage. if it finds one, it uses it.
• it checks for a card with a url that is also marked as rel="me" somewhere on the page
  • looks like i have a bug in this code! not sure if it's impacting your case, but it will result in taking the first card returned by microformat-node if there is any link on the page with rel="me" pointing to the homepage url.
• finally, if there is only one card, and it has url matching the homepage url, it takes that.

I'm a bit constrained by the results of microformat-node, but I'm open to suggestions and PRs on improving this algorithm!
