 * Thanks for the Google Plus author link.
 * My problem is that Google’s Structured Data Testing Tool finds that my site’s
   home page ([The Editor’s Blog](http://theeditorsblog.net/)) “does not contain
   authorship markup.” I tested a handful of other pages and posts from my site 
   and there’s no problem–authorship is working for them. It’s just the home page
   that doesn’t show the author markup.
 * Is that a glitch or had you intended that? Is there something else I should try?
   Thanks.

 * readwriteandedit,
 * Do you have the URL for your Google+ page entered in under “Google Plus Default
   Profile” in the General Settings of All in One SEO Pack? If not, try doing that;
   if so, then this may be a glitch, and I’ll test it.

 * Yes, I have the Google+ URL entered in the right place in General Settings. And
   every page and post I tested, even including the results pages from monthly archives
   and tag-word searches, shows authorship. It’s just the site’s home page that 
   doesn’t verify authorship and apparently doesn’t have authorship markup.
 * I checked the source code for that page and compared it to the others; the rel
   =”author” link is missing, though the other _All in One SEO_ info is there. Just
   that one line is missing.
 * Maybe the home page is different because it doesn’t have a file extension?
 * The one that doesn’t work: [The Editor’s Blog](http://theeditorsblog.net/)
 * And two that do work: [Twist Words](http://theeditorsblog.net/2013/04/27/twist-words-to-surprise-readers/)
   and [Writing Advice](http://theeditorsblog.net/tag/writing-advice/)
 * Thanks for your help.

 * This does look like a bug, and I believe I have a fix for it; if it isn’t fixed
   in the next release, which should be out soon, let me know here and I’ll troubleshoot
   it further.
