Common Denominators
There are certain UI elements which are common to most implementations. These include:


 * Profile photo (often with rounded corners)
 * Full Name (often emboldened)
 * Auto–linked URLs, usernames and #tags
 * Dates (sometimes relative, almost always the option to see real date)

Less Common Elements

 * As well as the full name, often there’s a network-specific name, or a URL on the indieweb
