I'm back again with yet another Google Rich Snippets error and its workable solution. It has become a sort of habit sharing my experience on how I solved blogging errors in hope of guiding someone who might need some help. And many times, it does.
How to solve Error: If this markup is about a person, at least 2 of the following fields are needed: organization, location, or role.
2. Find this 'post-author vcard' using CTRL+F which looks like,
3. Just below <span class='fn'>...</span>, enter the following values
<span class="org">Company/Organisation Name</span>
<span class="role">Your role</span>
which exactly will look like below,
4. After entering the values as given in the yellow box, save your template and view your website again in Structured Data Testing Tool.
AND THAT'S IT!
Note: Do remember that you can see the changes in your Webpage as well as in Google search results.

Looks very useful Uma. But, I have to know what is rich snippet first :( Coding just passes over my head... :(
ReplyDeleteHey, could I ask something? I feel replying for comments (especially those on old posts) as a very tedious task. There is no reply button in the comment section in the dashboard. I have to go to post every time and have to reply, that takes a lot of time. Do you face the same problem? Is there any solution for this?
Awaiting your reply,

Hi Sindhu,
DeleteRich Snippets are basically a summary of your web content that appears when an user uses Google search engine for a query. This is mainly helpful for attracting organic content esp. through Google search. You don't need any technical knowledge but just follow the steps as above and everything else will be fine.
As for your question regarding "reply buttons", I have already created a detailed post about it. Kindly check "http://www.momscribe.com/2013/05/code-for-blogger-reply-button-with.html" . Hope this helps :)
