 * Hi. I installed the plugin, activated it, put the Google Plus Profile URL in 
   the user profile ([https://plus.google.com/xxxxxxxxxxxetc](https://plus.google.com/xxxxxxxxxxxetc)),
   and put the shortcode [googleplusauthor] into a page that shows up on the home
   page. But the page is just showing a literal [googleplusauthor] text and not 
   something that’s supposed to be invisible. That is what I understand it is supposed
   to do – just output some markup for Google to sniff. Test site is [http://chicken.awebstart.com](http://chicken.awebstart.com)
 * I wonder what I’m doing wrong… This is the third site I’ve tried installing this
   plugin to. Plugin also did not work with the first 2 sites. Same procedure.
 * Thank you.
