  2. It is not going so easy for me. I have linked my google + to my blog and vice versa, and when I go to check it for the last step it shows nothing. 🙁 sigh

    I must be missing a step somewhere and I can’t figure it out.

  4. Thanks for sharing my posts, Stephanie! If your readers want to confirm that they’ve set up Authorship correctly, they should copy the URL of one of their posts and go to http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets – If that tool says it’s valid, it is. They may still need to wait for some time before they start showing up in search results. The more active they are socially (especially on Google+), the faster that will show up.
