    I have publicise set up to publicise to a facebook business page

    look at the google snippet testing tool

    http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets

    and enter this page (I am set as the author)

    http://blog.kothea.com/2014/02/28/grey-upholstery-linen/

    towards the bottom of the results page facebook authorship is INCORRECTLY shown as my colleague Mark whose FB ID is
    https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=582202834

    OK yes he did create the page. However he SHARED/PUBLICISED it to be shown on the company FB page not his FB page. His PERSONAL facebook ID should not be shown it should be the CORPORATE KOTHEA facebook page. In the publicise settings the individual user is NOT shown to publicise to – nor never has as far as I know.

    I am now the designated author of the page but again I don’t want my personal facebook page ID being shown either.

    does this make sense?

    I think you will need to pass this to a happiness engineer as it looks wrong to me (even if you can justify why it has happened). Personally I think it is a breach of personal security/info (I’m not that bothered by this but there are other people that will be no doubt)

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