XSitePro Website Design Software Message Board

I am trying to incorporate markup such as the one described here (http://schema.org/docs/gs.html#microdata_why)

Anybody know how I can put it on my site(s) ?

Thanks.

Markup such as this would be added manually in the Source tab.

So, do I just put itemscope after the <div....?
This stuff is quite confusing.

In your example, "markup" refers to Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).
You need to learn about HTML if you are going to build websites where you want to work with source code.

Here's a good source for information: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_intro.asp

Yes, you would wrap your content in a div or section tag that uses the itemscope attribute:Then you can add properties to HTML tags within the divThere are lots of examples from http://www.Schema.org and from W3.org: http://www.w3.org/TR/microdata/. There's a good explanation on these sites of how and why/when to you this markup, but it's fairly new and depends on HTML5... and most browsers are only recently compliant with HTML5. Even now, IE9 scores only 130 out of a possible 400 points for HTML5 compliance. Chrome is the most compliant browser, and Google does recommend the use of microdata, so I am assuming that it might make some difference to the SEO of your site. How much is hard to say. Some people have noticed that their site has actually dropped in ranking after using microdata.

Here's an article that explains it a bit more: http://www.vanseodesign.com/web-design/html5-microdata/.

You're welcome, Mike!

By the way, for those who don't know this, HTML5 and CSS3 go hand in hand.
