          Yes, in your header.php file, replace the <title>tag with the code from above.  The <title> tag must be inside of the <head> tag.  Simplified:</p> <blockquote style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #f7f7f7; padding-top: 5px; margin-left: 0px; padding-left: 2px; padding-bottom: 5px; white-space: nowrap; overflow-y: auto; font-family: monospace; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"> <p><head></p> <p><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><title>Your Title</title>

              Sorry, I misunderstood you... I though you were referring to the title tag since you mentioned the head tag.  My bad.

              rel="author" is just an attribute added to the author links that you already have in place.

                  Think of it this way... view the source of the page.  Add the rel="author" where you see links pointing to http://www.ultraseo.com/author/atul/.

                  rel="author" doesn't go anywhere in the .  It's an attribute added to <a>links.</a>

                      The general idea of the rel attribute is to link authors to content.

                      Check out How to use rel=author tags for SEO... the article goes on to explain that this is part of a new "AuthorRank" system for determining content legitimacy.
