How do I properly implement rel=me?

[DVRSystems19]

Is there a primer anywhere that will help me understand how rel=me works and how to implement it properly? I do NOT have a blog but I do have a Google+ account. I want to put my mug into my SERPs so I need to understand both the concept and the technical details of implementing this.

I am very comfortable with markup so I will be able to do this if I understand WHAT I am doing and HOW it is done.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Chris,

if using WordPress http://yoast.com/wordpress-rel-author-rel-me/

if using anything else

Twitter recently changed its title tag on user bio pages to include the rel=”me” attribute on links. That is pushing some people’s bios up to No. 1 on Google and has some marketers concerned. But there is a fix for that.

The rel=”me” attribute looks like this:

a href=”http://www.searchengineoptimizationjournal.com” rel=”me”

The purpose is to identify the relationship between web properties or identities that are owned by the same individual. Many social sites and directories use the rel=”me” attribute automatically when users link from their bios on those sites to their own blogs and websites. That’s fine, but social users typically do not link back to their social bios in the same manner. But they should.

I hope I have been of help to you,
