I particularly like the way you have taken the time to show the actual screen shots. Quite a few people try to explain this but often leave out vital points. Well done!

This act confirms that content such as this article is actually written by the author by tying it back to a Google Profile. Google considers "who" creates content potentially more powerful than "what" and establishing authorship. In addition to elevating the authority of a website or article, it also enabled the rather prominent avatar appearing next to the website or article in the search results. I personally consider establishing rel=author a critical element for any creator of original web content, text or imagery (assuming that the content is not created anonymously). Lauren,
