 * Hi,
 * Firstly, thanks for an excellent plugin.
 * I am not seeing my authorship profile on SERPs and it seems to be due to the 
   missing attribute on the author name link (see my name link at the bottom of 
   [this post](http://www.vr-gaming.co.uk/give-peas-chance/)).
 * Here’s the Google documentation where I spotted the problem.
