Well I guess I will just Blog it out from one newbe to another

Google Authorship notes:

This is one lesson that I had to go over a few time because of all the clicking back and forth I kinda got lost so here is my outline.

Set up an account in Google plus with an image of your face, if you haven’t already

Open up two tabs one for Google + and one for your website

Open your Google+ account

Click on the other tab

Go to your wordpress site and log in to the admin area

Click Users-all users- click edit on the user that you want to add authorship to

Go to Google+ tab

Click on your Image

View profile

At the top in the address bar

Copy the url up to /plus

Go to your website and scroll down to Google+

Paste the Google+ url in the box(should end with a string of numbers then / )

Scroll down

Click Update Profile

Go back to Google+

Click on your Image

View Profile

About

Scroll down to Contributor to

Edit

Add custom link

Go to your wordpress site and copy your url from the address bar up to .com/

Go back to Google+

Paste url to the custom link url box (should end with .com/ )

Name the link (like your website name)

Set to current contributor

Save

That’s it now test it.

Test with Rich Snippet Tool

Go to this link below (copy and paste to your address bar)

www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets

Copy and paste your url to the box and click Preview

You should see your image next to your site.

Hope this helps
