How to fix “missing required fields” warnings in Rich Snippets Testing Tool
Several days ago I checked what Google’s Rich Snippets Testing Tool thinks about this WordPress-based blog. The results were not bad in general, but also not good enough for my understanding. While Google was able to detect that I am the owner of the blog and presented a link to my Google+ Profile, and the main page of the blog was correctly detected as a list of blog entries, each one with the permalink, a list of tags and a list of categories – the most important things were missing: the title, the date and the author of the post. The following errors were displayed for each blog entry:
Warning: Missing required field “entry-title”.
Warning: Missing required field “updated”.
Warning: Missing required hCard “author”.
Obviously, I started to check what can be done about that. Continue reading “How to fix “missing required fields” warnings in Rich Snippets Testing Tool”
Citrix Access Gateway: Standard vs Enterprise
During the last month I have several “chances” to explain people that Citrix Access Gateway Standard and Citrix Access Gateway Enterprise are absolutely different products, and the same is true about their virtual editions (aka VPX). I feel that it is the time to write it down once and share the link from now on…
There are two Citrix products named Access Gateway – Citrix Access Gateway Standard/Advanced Edition (aka CAG) and Access Gateway Enterprise Edition (aka AGEE). Both share similar feature set, hence the common name, but those are different products. CAG is original Citrix product, with latest versions 4.6 and 5.0 (at the moment of writing). After Citrix acquired NetScaler in 2005, they implemented CAG functionality on the NetScaler appliance and named it “Enterprise Edition”. That’s why AGEE versions go after NetScaler version numbers – it is the same appliance, with latest version 9.3 (again, at the moment of writing).
And what is VPX? Access Gateway VPX is a virtual edition of CAG. NetScaler VPX is a virtual edition of NetScaler (that is – AGEE).
UPD (Sep 1): You can read more about the history of this separation here.
The First Post
Some time ago I’ve realized (yes, again!) that I need a place to store small pieces of information, which were carefully collected during my everyday work. Several years ago, when I was too excited about the Wiki concept, I did an attempt to create an own MediaWiki-based site for that. Obviously, I was a failure – MediaWiki is just not designed for what is now called blogging. So, here is another attempt to do exactly the same, this time using a blogging platform.
