  I’ve been trying to set-up Google authorship for months without success. I’ve already talked to Google and did everything they suggested. So I’m left wondering that it must be a WP problem. My 2 blogs are:

  Please help! I’m so frustrated with this!!

  Hi there,

  While technically we do not have anything in place which provides Google+ Authorship support, one of our users has come up with a workaround which might work for you.

  If you create a text widget in your sidebar, and put the following in it:

  <a href="https://plus.google.com/111599604216232194300" rel="author"><span style="display:inline-block;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:top;margin-right:5px;margin-top:8px;">Mike Horner</span><span style="display:inline-block;vertical-align:top;margin-right:15px;margin-top:8px;">on</span><img style="border:0;width:32px;height:32px;" src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-32.png" alt="" /></a>

  You will need to change our the following parts with your information:

  https://plus.google.com/111599604216232194300

  and

  Mike Horner

  This has been reported to work. We can’t guarantee it, but hopefully it will for you! :)
