I have created the following patch which adds support for an author metatag. One possible use for this would be to link an article to the author's Google+ profile so that author information appears in search results. (e.g. http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1408986)
The output for this metatag will look like this:
| Comment | File | Size | Author |
|---|---|---|---|
| #10 | nodewords-n1957972-10.patch | 4.09 KB | damienmckenna |
| #8 | nodewords-n1957972-8.patch | 4.08 KB | damienmckenna |
| #6 | nodewords-n1957972-5.patch | 4.08 KB | damienmckenna |
| #2 | nodewords-authortag-1957972.patch | 2.65 KB | perfectcu.be |
| nodewords-basic-author-tag.patch | 2.69 KB | perfectcu.be |

ajayg commentedThis patch takes care of on;y one use case to directly link to google profile. The other use case is to update link to profile page to include rel=Author and then on profile page provide rel=me to google profile page.

damienmckennaNodewords won't do the link change, but we will add the rel=me meta tag: #2138951: Add support for the rel=me meta tag
