I agree with you. It's time for WordPress.com to provide a means for us to do this. The Author link is being considered in seach engine page ranking and in positioning of our posts in the SERPs (search engine page results).

Authorship is an increasingly important part of search, and search is as important as ever. You can't blame Google for not doing all the work for you - they have their own blogging platform after all, where I imagine such things are easier to arrange.

I've been waiting patiently for a year for WordPress to catch up to this, (as the workaround above doesn't work for multi-user blogs) and I hope they will.

Authorship is an important enough thing to allow those of us with only a basic knowledge of the web to get access to, from within the wonderful framework that is wordpress.com.

Hopefully they'll agree with me eventually!

Have a look as this very informative article:

And maybe try signing off each post with your G+ authorship.

It's my 1st blog and i have to admit that even if it seems easy, it's more complicated than i thought.
I found the "pachyderm" them suitable for my needs and customized it a bit. i didn't find the text box there, does it mean that i wouldn't be able to add the rel author there? or the social buttons?

Basically you need a theme that supports the inclusion of a text widget (go appearances -- widgets and look for a Text Box option).

Then you need to put a link to your G+ profile with the rel=author after it. To get an example with a logo you want to do something like this:

<br /> <a href="https://plus.google.com/111599604216232194300" rel="author"><span style="display:inline-block;font-weight:bold;vertical-align:top;margin-right:5px;margin-top:8px;">Mike Horner</span><span style="display:inline-block;vertical-align:top;margin-right:15px;margin-top:8px;">on</span><img style="border:0;width:32px;height:32px;" src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-32.png" alt="" /></a><br />

Obviously that looks worse than it is, you only have to change the name to your name and the G+ Profile number to your own.

This will create a link to your G+ profile with the rel=author attribute on every page of your blog. Test is with Google's Rich Snippets Testing Tool and the rest should write itself.

Hope it helps.

They ban any form of automated post, which is the main advantage to G+ over other social platforms; that everyone there is really there, reading other people's posts and creating and sharing original content. So the autopost feature not only doesn't exist there, but probably never will.

Just add a text widget to your blog with a link to your G+ profile with rel=author and you're golden.

Doesn't help with multi-author blogs though...
