\"\"<\/a>The great folks at WordPress have come out with a new default theme along with WordPress 3.4, and it is a very good one. Twenty Twelve is responsive, clean, and easy to work with. So of course I naturally had to add my Schema.org data back into it once I activated it!<\/p>\n

Very similar to what I had done with Twenty Eleven, I created a child theme that extends the default Twenty Twelve by adding microdata into the markup. I also added in a three widget section to the footer, a feature of T11 that I missed in T12. Hopefully this can be of use to others as well. What follows is the same description from the T11 Schema.org child theme that I had previously written.<\/p>\n

By adding Schema.org microdata to the Twenty Twelve theme, we gain several benefits. Google, along with several other large companies like Bing and Yahoo, introduced Schema.org<\/a>, a collection of microdata formats that can be used as a common machine language to identify bits and pieces of web pages. This theme incorporates that language and embeds it directly into your site.<\/p>\n

Example?<\/h2>\n

Sure. Here is a side-by-side of the author section of a blog post (slightly abbreviated from the real source). Note the elements that were added, and then how Google’s rich snippets tool<\/a> pulls them out.<\/p>\n
