Suggestion: boost the steemit SEO with schema markup
In my previous post, I noticed that there was a little bug in the schema.org markup of steemit posts.
While poking around I figured that I might just as well do something about the lack of information in that markup also. Notice the lack of data in the current markup (13 December 2017):
Proposal
I think that the three main improvements could be done with the entities: article, comment and author.
Note for the attentive reader: Screenshots below are taken from a dev instance and URLs might reflect that.
Author
This one is pretty straight forward and I think that the current markup looks pretty complete and sane.
Comment
Blog
I've taken the freedom of referring to the author's feed of articles as the Blog while blogPost refers to the actual article on the page.
As for the errors below, please see the related Task Request for discussions and questions.

Oh, my apologies. I'm still learning the what's what with both steemit and #utopian-io.
So according to the suggestions, I've edited the original article above and opened a Task Request here: Looking for an SEO expert to help improving steemit schema markup

Thanks Spencer, have you posted those articles here Steemit also? I'd be happy to read and up-vote the good stuffs here.
No worries, I'll answer that myself. I found them on your profile blog.
Yes, sorry, I have them posted on Steemit. Every article that is on my website will also be on Steemit as I post them to my site after posting them to Steemit.
I am working to post a new article every 3 days. They will be on a variety of topics including health, marketing, relaxation, fitness, SEO, social media, money, et cetera.
Thanks for your interest!
