Wrap post body in h-entry

My post was deleted from the replies. Is it because I omitted e-content? Yes, it was.

Add h-card

The author doesn't show up. Am I missing u-author? Yes, I was.

Add dt-published

Didn't have effect when I put it inside h-card

Worked when I put it as a direct child of h-entry

Extras that I found through testing:
