Stack FAQs
Should I add author pages separately?
Yes. Link to author profile pages and include Person objects for each author shown on the blog homepage.
Do I need BlogPosting or just CollectionPage?
Include BlogPosting for the featured posts shown on the homepage; it clarifies post-level details and authorship.
