  Hi there,

  At present there is no way to configure WordPress.com to link to your Google Authorship account. We do, however, have two authors widgets that you can use to highlight the authors who contribute to your blog:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/authors-widget/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/author-grid-widget/

  Best!

  Hi again,

  While there is no official Google Authorship widget, I did some more testing and found that you can include your authorship information by adding a text widget that includes your Google Plus Profile URL and then adding a link to your WordPress.com site to that profile.

  You can find detailed instructions at:

  Best!

  Thanks,

  This works with single author blogs, not multi author ones.
