Your Face In Google Results- Wordpress Authorship Instructions

like and share

Many of you saw the post I wrote about getting your face to appear in the Google results using your ActiveRain profile.

However, I have received a bunch of emails asking about how this can be done in Wordpress.

With Wordpress, it's super easy. I actually wrote a post on that before too, but there was no video, and perhaps my instructions were not clear enough.

So I made another video.

After this, I am not going to write another word about getting your face in the Google results! (But feel free to contact me with questions.)

Again, I do these things without a script and without editing, so I apologize if I stutter and stammer. 

Disclaimer: I am not the guy or girl who developed the Better Author Bio plugin. I have no reason to promote it and it's free anyway. There are dozens of ways to get your face in Google results with Wordpress, including using HTML and zero plugins.

The reason I use this plugin, is because I am working on a law firm's site right now and they have 1500 pages in their website and a dozen different authors. This plugin worked for what I needed it to do. You may find that you like another plugin better.

But if you want the fast and easy way, watch this seven minute video.

First, login to your self-hosted Wordpress blog and then, do this:

Michael - Thank you.  I just did this tonight following your excellent instructions.  I also had the added bonus of finding out how to change my gravatar.  I must have set one up years ago and totally forgot about it.  I wondered why that old photo of me kept showing up in different places on the Internet, now I was able to update it.  Great stuff!
