Adding authors to your blog posts

The Blog Manager allows you to add authors to your B=blog posts. When authors are added to your posts, a picture of the author will display in Google's search results.

To add a new author:

1. Click on the Blog tab when you are logged into your website account. You will then see the Posts screen, below:
   
2. Click on Edit Post. You will see a similar screen, below:
   
3. Alongside the Author drop down, click the New link. The Add Author popup will appear:
   
4. Enter the author's Name.
5. Enter a brief Bio about the author.
6. Use Image to select a profile picture/head shot of the author.
7. Enter your LinkedIn Url.
8. Enter your Google+ Url.
9. Enter your Twitter Url.
10. Click the Save button.

The setup on your website is now complete. To complete the whole process you need to add a link back to your website from your Google+ profile. The area you need to add the link to is under About in your profile. There is a Contributor section where you need to add the address of your website, just as you can see below. This is a requirement as it proves your Google+ account is associated with your website and blog posts.
