Authorship not working despite code showing rel=author

[JSOC]

When you run this page through the rich snippet testing tool, it says the page doesn't contain authorship markup.

Problem is, a look at the code shows rel = author has been properly added, and the author has listed the domain as a site he contributes to. 

Hopefully someone in the forum can tell me what I'missing? Why isn't authorship effective here?

You need to link the by line to google plus, not internally to the site. See check out my site below and how I have it set up.

See how I have a by My Name with my name being a link to my google plus profile. That is how you have to do authorship. Then in the person's google plus account you have to add the site that they are an author to. Like here is what it looks like in mine.

It's quite all right to link the pages you author to your bio page using rel=author, but then your bio page needs to link to your G+ account using a rel=me.  This is the way I do it and it works fine.

The other way to do it is to link your pages directly to your G+ account using rel=author, but since you have a bio page, I think you should use the scheme above.

Hi there! The page you gave as an example seems to have been removed (or the link to it is broken.) Were you able to resolve this issue? I did take a peek at a couple of your other blog posts and noticed that they are using Rel Author to link to a Google+ brand page (vs. a personal Google+ account). Rel Author should always be linked to an author's individual Google+ account. Would love to help you sort this out. Cheers, Christy
