tantek_ wow lots of spam there, going to revert a bunch
#
tantek_ the #indieweb community has been moving on from rel=author (that is, not recommending it any more, as compared to just using h-entry with explicit authorship)
#
tantek_ does anyone here still have a non-legacy use-case for rel=author in particular that is not addressed by h-entry?

#
Zegnat I use rel-author, but more of a habit than anything else. Though I do believe Google consumes it?
#
aaronpk i thought they dropped all their authorship support a while ago

#
Zegnat From that first link “accurate implementation among those that attempted to set up rel=author was also bad” ... OK?
#
Zegnat Oh, that is all about linking to G+ profiles, not just rel-author
#
Zegnat I’ve never linked it to G+. Maybe Google never actually used it then in my case
#
aaronpk yeah they used rel=author for linking it up to a G+ profile
#
aaronpk then they showed a big headshot in the search result
