Implement Open Graph Protocol For Blogger¶
At previous guide we sucesfully add a important meta tags for Blogger, but we need a open graph protocol for scraping and previewing on social media sites.
The Open Graph protocol enables any web page to become a rich object in a social graph. For instance, this is used on Facebook to allow any web page to have the same functionality as any other object on Facebook.
While many different technologies and schemas exist and could be combined together, there isn’t a single technology which provides enough information to richly represent any web page within the social graph. The Open Graph protocol builds on these existing technologies and gives developers one thing to implement. Developer simplicity is a key goal of the Open Graph protocol which has informed many of the technical design decisions.
For more information visit Open Graph Protocol.
This is a basic open graph meta tags.
<title>The Rock (1996)</title>
<meta property="og:title" content="The Rock" />
<meta property="og:type" content="video.movie" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117500/" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/rock.jpg" />
Blogger is a dynamic site, we need to implement this using blogger function.
Here’s the code:
<meta content="" property="fb:app_id" />
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<meta content='article' property='og:type'/>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.title' property='og:site_name'/>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.pageName' property='og:title'/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.postImageThumbnailUrl'>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.postImageThumbnailUrl' property='og:image'/>
</b:if>
<b:else/>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.title' property='og:title'/>
<meta content='website' property='og:type'/>
</b:if>
<meta expr:content='"en_US"' property='og:locale'/>
<meta expr:content='data:blog.canonicalUrl' property='og:url'/>
Here’s the full of code:
