I manage 2 WordPress.com blogs: meeg.org and eaunritchie.org - both on behalf of other people. (Dustin and Ean, respectively).

I have just noticed that my name (Nick) appears in Google search results for either site.

I don't want my name to appear as the 'author' of these blogs. I would prefer no author, or (at least) Dustin / Eaun.

There seems to be lots of (confusing) information about linking Google+ profiles and adding profile pictures, but I would actually prefer to remain a bit more anonymous!

Cheers, Nick

it seems to sort of work (my code above) but it seems to not always display in Google and also seems not to work for more than one author. This presumably is because my 'solution' is not done on a per-post basis but rather on the right hand bar...ie site-wide basis. It seems that just the first one listed In the bar works (I cold be wrong).

Also there appears to be a directly related issue recognising (multiple-) authorship and who the publisher is.

That article refers to wordpress.org and is not useful for wordpress.com blogs. We cannot use Google Analytics here.

Please read about the different sorts of wordpress:

On your Google+ you need to go to your About section and scroll to your Links. Edit your profile and input the WP blog you contribute to and your picture should show up. I know it showed up on mine at shanmanonline.com. However, it doesn't show up on another blog that I manage.

I think it might also depend on the theme you have in place too. You should also make sure that you have Google Analytics embedded in the code too.

I didn't mess with coding, I just did it straight through G+. Here's a great article on it:

I hope this helps for you. Good luck.

I have added this html to a widget on my right hand bar and it seems to accept it ie no code is stripped out for once :-)

Does anyone have any experience of this as a way to successfully verify authorship to Google AND then to get your image next to blog posts that show on google search results??

There was no condescension coming from me and any that you think exists must be coming from projection by yourself due to your own unhappiness with the situation ie., not hearing the answers that you want to hear.

"Breaking your blog" is not an issue given that all you can move is the content and not the theme. No themes are exportable as WordPress.com and WordPress.org run on different software.

I currently write in many different areas but I have yet to land a paying full time writing gig. To get myself out into the internet world I devised a blog to have readers poll ideas that are one word topics. Based on the winning polls I will group them up and write a short story per week that uses those topics. I hope to have people getting involved, discussing my writing and everything to do with writing/reading. Thanks for stopping by!
PS: I wanted to get people to start showing interest in this idea before I starting doing polls, so post some comments letting me know you're paying attention!

Not at wordpress.com you can't. No access to theme files only CSS with the paid CSS upgrade. You're talking about a self-hosted wordpress.com blog, there is a big difference.

Can I make it more obvious that I am the author?

(1) The first method is to choose a theme that has an "authors" page template.
(2) The second method is to create a Category for each author's name and have the authors assign their categories correctly to each post they make.
(3) The third is for each Author to simply type a byline into each post. Example: The Wonderful Post I've Ever Read by John Doe

And IMHO as these options do exist insisting that staff edit each and every theme is not likely to happen.
