Converting existing Breadcrumb with data-vocabulary.org markup
Breadcrumb’s script varies template to template. Because web
designer’s use code differently. But our main focus should be on 3 scripts. We
need to wrap up the whole breadcrumb with data-vocabulary.org markup and using
URL and Title property on it.
You can see the below example which is without any data-vocabulary.org
markup and search engine won’t understand your template’s breadcrumb.
<div class='breadcrumbs'>
<span Breadcrumb><a class='homex' expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl' itemprop='url'><span>Home</span></a></span>
»
<b:loop values='data:posts' var='post'>
<b:if cond='data:post.labels'>
<b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>
<span Breadcrumb>
<a expr:href='data:label.url' rel='tag'><span><data:label.name/></span></a></span>
<b:if cond='data:label.isLast != "true"'> » </b:if>
</b:loop>
<b:else/>
»Unlabelled
</b:if>
» <span><data:post.title/></span>
</b:loop>
</div>
I will show you how I have used data-vocabulary.org markup on my template’s breadcrumb script.
And I have used data-vocabulary.org markup in above
script and finally my template’s breadcrumb is look like below.
<div class='breadcrumbs'>
<span itemscope='' itemtype='http://data-vocabulary.org/Breadcrumb'><a class='homex' expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl' itemprop='url'><span itemprop='title'>Home</span></a></span>
»
<b:loop values='data:posts' var='post'>

</b:loop>
<b:else/>

</b:loop>
</div>
