  Hi there,

  At present there is no way to configure WordPress.com to link to your Google Authorship account. If it’s something you’d like to see in future versions, you should share it over in our Ideas forum:

  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:
