Google Authorship for WordPress - Part 1
Since the recent release of version 3.5 of WordPress, back in December 2012, installing the necessary g+ rich snippet codes became a little bit easier. Though I've not exhaustively tested every scenario on it's own, I can  confidently recommend it, as it gets the job done. Successful installation of the code(s) yields a display of one's profile photo, as part of the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs), when pages and posts from your website are indexed by Google.
Why is this a big deal? Consider a study by Catalyst Search Marking that quantifies the impact of the use of rich snippets on click through rate (ctr). It found that the number of clicks on a SERP, where a photo was displayed next to the result, dramatically increased by an order of 150%. If it's your photo, that gives you huge advantage over your competition.
