Any plans to support Schema?

Any thoughts to modifying the template to support schema Reviews?

http://schema.org/Review

This sounds interesting, Brandon.

From what I see, we'd just need to add itemprop="review" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Review" to each individual testimonial container, and make use of the author and description itemprops.

Is there, perhaps, a schema that is better suited to testimonials? If not, and we don't make use of all properties in the schema (such as ratings, which we don't add), would this invalidate the schema?

So I started testing it by creating a single-testimonial.php file for the new site I am working on. You can find the code for the loop here: https://gist.github.com/bhubbard/6381348

Screenshots of test results using Webmaster Tools:

So we don't need ratings, but we must have the itemReviewed for it to work in Google results. Maybe we can just set it to be the Site Name or URL? Or build a new meta field into the custom post type asking what the testimonial is regarding.

Apologies for the delay, Brandon.
