Enable Google Authorship, Rel=Author Markup In WordPress

September 18, 2013 by admin Leave a Comment

Google Authorship is linking of your Google+ profile and Google+ profile photo to the articles you publish in your blog. Once you set up Google authorship these details will be displayed in the search results. This tutorial is helpful for activating Google Authorship in a WordPress blog using Genesis Theme Framework or All in One SEO Pack plugin or WordPress SEO by Yoast. By using this tutorial you can enable rel=author markup for your posts.

For Example:
