  How do I add the new authoring tag from Google to the content on my WordPress blog (rel=”author”) ?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  This is automatically included in your page code; to ensure it works correctly, you should have an user you want to appear as an author included on your blog in the “author” role:

  I just checked and you are the author in the code (I only looked at the first post).

  Thank you! So this includes the new Google Autoring code, not just the WordPress Author role?

  Then you should include a mention of this update on that description page – many people will seek it, I think.

  These are not different codes – it’s all just standard HTML tags!
