    HI

    I'm trying to add a profile badge for my G+ account to my wordpress site - From here - https://developers.google.com/+/plugins/badge/
    I tried and I keep getting an error message.

    This is the code : <script type="text/javascript" src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js"></script>
    <div class="g-plus" data-href="https://plus.google.com/{116324325963860842642}" rel="author"></div>

    When I test the script here : http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?url=http%3A%2F%2FReneeEverett.wordpress.com

    I get an error message saying :

    author
    linked author profile = http://reneeeverett.wordpress.com/author/reneeeverett/
    Error: Author profile page does not have an authorship link to a Google Profile. Learn more.
    author (extracted from page content)
    author name = renee everett
    Are you the author? If you have an email with wordpress.com and verified it with Google+, please enter your G+ profile to verify your authorship here

    author

    It gives me an option to submit my email to verify.. It does that and then.. Still no joy.

    I'm pulling my hair out now ;-( Can you help me?

    The blog I need help with is reneeeverett.wordpress.com.

    Javascript is stripped out here for security reasons. It will never work.

    What you CAN do is make a text widget with any image and text you want and a link to your profile and put that in your sidebar.

    Hi.. Thanks for your reply.

    So I take it the same would go for those cool Pinterest Badges right?

    I don't know what code they're using, but if they use Javascript, then yes.

    Just to clarify.. Which scripts will work? html ? If I want to use a script in the "text" box widget, which format must be used?

    Scripts don't work. Plain, no script HTML code works.
