This comes up as invalid at Google’s Testing Tool since it is missing a few markups …

@tolkin reported to me that Google is still showing posts as invalid: [이미지] The image requirement is bizarre. It needs to be an image of the item (the post in this case), not an image contained in the post (which usually won’t exist) or from some metadata about the post. Google’s tool should be s…
