[CREATE] Google event microdata

[Jakub Jankiewicz]

Hi ale,

Mircodata should be put into html code it can put in the place where
date is present.

<div itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Event">
    Libre Graphics Meeting will be in
    <!-- is not displayed but it wont hurt to include -->
    <img itemprop="photo" src="spinal_tap.jpg" />
    <span itemprop="location" itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/​Organization">
      ​<span itemprop="name">UAS Technikum</span> 
      ​<span itemprop="address" itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Address">
         <span itemprop="locality">Vienna</span>
      </span>
   </span>

 from <span itemprop="startDate">May 02</span> to <span itemprop="endDate">May 05</span> </div>

You can set different suff into tags and test how they look in this
tool: http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets

And in sitemap you can add video 
http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=80472

that from last year can be put on website (if there is no new version), 
and tumbnail (you need to pick some good looking frame) will be displayed
in search results.
