 * Hey. I noticed you added speakable intergration into your plugin. Under Schema
   List, News Article, Speakable there are two options; headline and summary. Do
   we leave these blank or do they have to be populated with information. If they
   have to be filled in, can you provide some examples or guidance on what info 
   needs to be entered into the fields?

 * For those who want to get speakable working here are few things you need to do.
 * You need to select Newsarticle, Blogarticle or Article schema and select speakable.
 * I would recommend using Xpath, instead of the CSS option.
 * Headline code is /html/head/title
    summary code is /html/head/meta[@name=’description’]/
   @content
 * Once you put those code in, the ” and ” are automatically populated into the 
   JSON schema code, you don’t need to put “/html/head/title”
 * Once the code is done you need to test it with the structure data testing tool
   [https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool](https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool)
 * If the code is working right, you will see the headline and summary populated
   with words.
 * Once this is done you can submit it to Google to have to played on all of their
   speakers and voice things.

 * apparently you need to manually change the excerpt for all of your wordpress 
   posts in order for this to work, in order for google to approve you.
 * You need to manually create an exert so words aren’t getting cut off. Most people
   use automatic excerpts, so words will be like “the fox jumped over the hoop and
   walked to the store, he was quick and nimb… ” google will deny you. You need 
   to use like All in one SEO or something similar that gives you total control 
   over your excerpts, so they will fall just under 160 characters, so nothing will
   get cut off. Once you do that, Google should approve you for Speakable.

 * Cool tutorial and markup.

   Would it maybe make more sense, to use the excerpt as speakable content instead
   of the the SEO description?
