      Hi, i am using google authorship on my site but when i use the testing tool it is not working.

      before the upgrade we had it working fine but now it does not seem to work.

      we have our google plus account pointing to the site and the writer we are trying to add is not coming up on the tool

      here is the code we are putting on the page

      Google+

      and the page in question is here http://www.in2town.co.uk/emmerdale/emmerdale-laurel-is-determined-to-take-action

      when i check the tool i get the following

      Authorship Testing ResultAuthorship is not working for this webpage.andAuthorship rel=author MarkupCannot verify that rel=author markup has established authorship for this webpage.the tool i am using to check is http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippetsany help to solve this problem would be great. i am using joomla

        Hi there, the rel="author" tag does not show up anywhere in the HTML for this page. There is good news, though. If you go back to the GWT rich snippets testing tool and input your author's Google ID, you will see that Authorship has been established for this page using the verified email method.

          so does that mean that all i have to do is to add an author name and do nothing else for it to work. do you also know how long it takes for a picture to appear in the search engines as i have not seen anything as yet
