I've checked my site (http://www.mapgiftshop.com) with the google tool below and found some Microdata errors.

https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool


On the blog section, it says 'Missing headline, image, publisher, dateModified and mainEntityOfPage'.

I thought the <artcle> tags are created by my template (gantry), but it seems not, I think it's Joomla.

If so, are there anyone who knows the way to add these fields?
If you can share the way or code, can you kindly show or instruct me please?

I'm using Joomla! 3.4.8.

Thank you in advance!

BEFORE you do anything else make sure you immediately update your version of Joomla to the very latest release which is 3.6.4 - you are on a very old version that is vulnerable to exploit

As Brian mentions, first thing is to update. 

After that you should switch to the default Joomla template and then re-test. That will tell you whether the issue is with your template (and its overrides) or not.

Thank you for your advice. There was an issue to update, so I kept it, but I managed to update.
So what's the next thing to do?
