Testing Google Authorship.

Let's see if I have done this correctly.  Thanks to suggestions from these sources about putting code into every blog post to connect my Google + Author page to content:

Adding code here:

should be something like this as byline in HTML:
<a href=”https://plus.google.com/1092829879707...? rel=author”>Ian Cleary</a>

My address (have used the custom URL feature) - hmm - will this work with a custom URL?
https://plus.google.com/u/0/+InnaSwin...

OK - tried to have a byline that links to my profile here - and pasted proper code, etc, but - it's not working.

Question - do I not need to do this for each post of the blog in Blogger because the blog itself is already connected to my Google plus authorship page?

Sigh.  Not working.  Kids will be up very soon.  Suppose it is way too late for the above question. Time for sleep.

Robert A Lyon It may or may not be working but I just searched Google on how to set up Google Authorship for Goodreads and this post was first in my search results... However it wasn't displaying as a google Authorship result.

Inna Swinton Hi Robert - thanks for letting me know! It is very tricky. It did show up as a Google Authorship result at first but perhaps something happens and then it gets deranked? I actually use my post to remind me how to do it when I forget. Perhaps I need to be blogging and doing it more often so that I don't forget. It's complicated. ;-)
