Does anyone know of a recipe schema creator tool?
-
Our CMS doesn't support a user friendly plugin to create markup for recipes, so we have to do it manually. Does anyone know of a schema creator tool for recipes? Raven tools has one for every other content type.
Thanks!

Raven only has the recipe offering in there WordPress plug-in found on schema-creator.org it is very strange they did not update their site as well.

Hi Aggie,
Well that's a bit of a bummer. But I'm glad you are making it work. Did Raven offer any suggestions, btw? Or, rather, did you ask them for suggestions? I'm curious what they would say.
Thanks for the update!
Kind Wishes,

Thanks for checking in Christy. We found that even with some of these 'shortcut' tools, once we drop it into Google's Structured Data Testing Tool, we often still have some things to fix like 'fn' or a time code or something.
Our writers are finding it's easier to hand code than clean up what's put out by some of the tools.
Cheers,
Aggie

Hi Aggie, did you have any luck with those? Please give us an update, thanks!

I'm sorry it's only in the WordPress plug-in but not the regular website version

Check it again they added it moments after I posted it. I promise you it is there now
-
Thank you! We'll try this one out.

Thanks!

Thanks. I saw this tool as well, and noticed they have no recipe specific schema creator.

We use Drupal, and the template the writers would need to use is 500% more time consuming than coding.

Just published an article on SEJ about Schema.org markup and its role in future google updates: http://www.searchenginejournal.com/schema-org-eight-tips-incorporate-rich-snippets-conform-google-hummingbird/75435/
As peter pointed out, it will depend on the CMS you are using, nowadays there are plugins for almost everything.

I like to use schema creator
unfortunately you will have to add the recipe word in place of anything else that was there after the word schema.org

I hope that was of help, Thomas

Hi Lisa
Are you using Wordpress as your CMS? There is one here for that: http://wordpress.org/plugins/ziplist-recipe-plugin/
There is also a standalone one here
http://www.microdatagenerator.com/recipe-schema/
which says under construction. I tried it and although I didn't check what it created in detail it looked OK so you could maybe use that and adapt it.
I hope they help,
Peter

Tools to created embedded content...
Wondering if anyone has done this before,, this so, would they mind sharing the best approach please. To cut a long story short, one of our seo client is a free UK internet safety resource, backed by (but independent from the UK Govt), the site is heavily talked about by sites such as BBC, Guardian and many more newspapers and as a result the domain authority is creeping up to 90 - Oh to be given the chance to monetise a site with DA 90!!! As you can imagine, with the quality of the links the site picks up, the ranking of content on the site can be fairly easy, but the one problem we are facing is that of sites 'borrowing' our content. These sites tend not to be small bedroom bloggers, but rather all kinds of sites. We have seen our content on UK University websites, Police websites and many more whom should know better. Obviously this is hurting the 'borrower' more than us with regard to duplicate content but it would still be good to get some credit for our work without having to keep hunting the sites down and emailing back and forth. We don't need the credit for backlink purposes but would be nice to have people know we read it incase they want to read more. A solution I have pondered is to create embed options, as per youtube et al. Instead of sites having to copy our content to list it, they can still include our content on their site and avoid any duplicate content issues. As I believe the embedded content will be called from our site (I think that's how a youtube video works) our site would also get the read stats on the content regardless of where is it located. We are hoping that this could become a great content distribution tool, we don't need people to come to our site as the site is non profit, has no advertising but we need to justify the resources we get by showing how many people are reading what we publish. We are never going to be able to stop sites using our content so, like the music industry and itunes, if we can find a legal way to do it then we can all benefit. My main question, yes, I do actually have one!!!, is two fold. Is it possible to create embed for whole articles and am i right in my thinking that if our content is on Jeff's Blog and loaded as an embed then the hit on the content is still reflected in our stats as the content is being pulled from our url? Sorry for the excessively long way of explaining this, any feedback is welcomed, even 'don't do it, it's stupid idea'!!

Is joomla better than wordpress let me know your thoughts
Hi, i am wondering if wordpress is better than joomla. We have been having a talk and been wondering if our main site www.in2town.co.uk should stay in joomla or if we should think about moving it over to wordpress. I would like to hear what people think, if wordpress is better than joomla for a magazine or if we should stick with joomla and forget about moving over to wordpress. It would be great to hear people's opinion and maybe some examples of popular magazines or newspaper sites that are using wordpress instead of joomla. It would also be interesting to know how hard or how easy it is to move across to wordpress from joomla. Would value your thoughts on this issue and find out which is better for seo. many thanks

What are your favourite tools for discoving popular content?
Since looking around for popular content discovery tools I came across a review about a tool called PostRank which seemed ideal until I learned Google had bought it and shut it down already 😞 So far I have been using Google reader and Topsy to discover popular content in my niches but I am guessing there are a whole bunch of other tools out there that may work even better - please do let me know your favourites!

Blog Influencer's tool
Hi Mozzers, Can you help me with something please. I need a tool (preferably free or low cost) to find a list of influencers (blog or some types of publication) in a particular marketplace. Step 2 would be to see if we can then syndicate content but I need to find them first. Obviously there Google blog finder and general searches, I've used other tools in the past but a long time ago - what are people using now and what's the best? Thanks B

Where is microdata (schema.org) already being used by major search engines?
I know Google recently launched their recipes search, but apart from this where else are you seeing microdata being used?
