 * I am using WordPress SEO by Yoast Version 1.4.11. And all of a suddon there are
   the following W3C validating errors:
 * Element meta is missing required attribute name.
    <meta property=’og:locale’ 
   content=’de_DE’/>
 * Element meta is missing required attribute name.
    <meta property=’og:type’ content
   =’article’/>
 * Element meta is missing required attribute name.
    <meta property=’og:title’ content
   =’Dettmer Seminarunterlagen-Verlag’/>
 * Element meta is missing required attribute name.
    …n als Word-Dokument für Office
   und Windows zum Ausdrucken und fürs Intranet.’/>
 * Element meta is missing required attribute name.
    <meta property=’og:url’ content
   =’[http://www.dettmer-verlag.de/’/&gt](http://www.dettmer-verlag.de/’/&gt);
 * Element meta is missing required attribute name.
    <meta property=’og:site_name’
   content=’Dettmer Seminarunterlagen-Verlag’/>
 * Can anybody help out with what to do to eliminate those errors? And is there 
   any danger concerning the functionality of the plugin and/or the page?
 * Thanks.

 * Thanks. I should have mentioned that I already found that link via google. But
   I was hoping that someone could give me a bit more information concerning this
   topic. Especially because the information given there ist 10 month old.
