Ever since 1/17 I started to get Missing Name error in Goole WMT for authorship. I've been using EasyBlog for a year and never had this issue.
Hello Stephan,

I have tried to place one of your blog posts on Google Rich Snippet test tool at http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tahoecreativesolutions.com%2FBlog%2Fweb-design-trends-what-is-flat-design and it seems to be showing up correctly as you can see here, http://screencast.com/t/rU8ZwylPDKv8

Hm, the error messages are pretty ambiguous as it doesn't tell us which item scope it's generating errors on as almost every item scope has the attribute "name". I have applied some fixes but not sure if this is the problem, can you try monitoring this and see if the errors are gone?

I'll keep an eye on it and let you know. Thanks!

I noticed someone else in the forums had a similar issue so it seems just not related to me.

Hello Stephan,

Hm, that's not good. Is the errors appearing as it was previously? Could we wait for a couple of days more and see just in case it's being cached by Google?

Hello Stephan,

I just added another block of code, can you monitor this? To be honest with you, this is worst than finding the needle in the haystack because Google Rich Snippet tool is not reporting any errors and there are no way for us to know what that error message is all about on GWMT

Only change is that errors have gone up since posting new blogs. I hope this isn't hurting my chances of my authorship picture showing up in serps.

Stephan, I have tried updating the codes again. The problem here is the rich snippet tool itself isn't reporting any errors
