Ladida, I'm so sorry! I don't understand that error message and don't know what's causing it. I wish I could give you an answer! You might try asking in Google's webmaster help forums. They aren't always helpful, but sometimes somebody will know what's wrong.

When I use rich snippets testing tool, I find “Warning: Missing required field “updated”.” , can you tell me what’s wrong and how to solve that?
Thank you

Yes, you’ve got it exactly right, Coreen!

Except… unfortunately… Google is being arbitrary and stupid. My authorship is no longer showing up next to Google listings for my lenses, whereas it was working earlier, and I don’t know why. An industry expert on searchengineland.com reports the same thing: he had authorship, and now it’s not showing up any more.

Possibly it’s because he and I have old Google profiles not Google+, so we don’t get the goodies. In which case what you’re doing should be all right. It’s working for SOME people, so…try it.

Ellen I am trying to wade through understanding exactly how to link rel me/author to my articles. Is the Squidoo scenario?…
1) Lensmaster profile has rel=me linked to Google profile
2) My articles (lenses) have rel=author linked to my lensmaster profile
3) My Google+ has lensmaster profile linked under “other profiles”

Thanks for your help!!
