Installing Google Authorship To Blogger Made Easy

Installing Google authorship to Blogger could be done in a simple way.

Google authorship is one way of claiming original ownership of your blog's content. It is therefore a sole attribution of your write-ups or articles originally written and to prevent others from copying and claiming them as theirs. Besides it will reflect your integrity and credibility as a writer or a blogger of your own works.

When I search the net, I came across with Stef dela Cruz' Blogger Google Authorship and I posted the code here in RandomThoughts! Then this is what I've got after I installed authorship code to my blog in blogger:

Here are the simple steps in installing Google authorship box to blogger:

1. Log in to your blogger account.











2. Go to your Dashboard. Then click template.















3. Click Edit HTML.
















4. Click proceed.

5. Click Expand Widget Templates.















6. Then install the author box, press control + f and type this at the Find bar:

]]></b:skin>

7. On the above code, copy and paste the following code:

.author-box { background: #F7F7F7; margin: 20px 0 40px 0; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #E6E6E6; overflow: auto; } .author-box p { margin: 0; padding: 0; } .author-box img { background: #FFFFFF; float: left; margin: 0 10px 0 0; padding: 4px; border: 1px solid #E6E6E6; }

8. On the same Find bar below, type any of the following codes:

<data:post.body/> or <div class="post-footer'> or <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-l'>

9. In the above mentioned code, copy and paste the following code by supplying first your personal needed info.

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'> <div class='author-box'> <p> <img alt='YOUR NAME' class='avatar avatar-70 photo' height='70' src='URL OF YOUR PHOTO' width='70'/><b>About Me</b><br/>TYPE SHORT AUTHOR DESCRIPTION HERE.<br/> Please add my <a href='URL OF YOUR GOOGLE PLUS PROFILE' rel='author'>Google Profile</a> to your circles.<br/></p> </p> </div> </b:if>

10. Click preview, to see if it has no error. If there's none, click Savetemplate. Then close.

11. Then proceed to your Google Plus and edit your Profile. Then go to Contributor To. Type the name of your blog and its URL which you've just installed the author box. Then Save. You're done.

To make sure it's done. Check your authorship in this link: Google Rich Snippets Testing Tool by typing your URL of your blog there.

If it's done correctly, you will see your name and your photo beside the snippet, just like this RandomThoughts!:

Take your time!
