About this site

Authorship Rocks! is a validator to help you test your Authorship Discovery implementation.

Authorship Discovery

The test posts below advertise their authors in a variety of ways, to help you test your Authorship Discovery implementation.

You can point your discovery algorithm at each of the posts, and try to discover the author that is indicated on the page.

• Discovery Test #1 - Entry with p-author
• Discovery Test #2 - Entry with h-card
• Discovery Test #3 - Entry with separate h-card and rel=author
• Discovery Test #4 - Entry with rel=author to an h-card with rel=me
• Discovery Test #5 - Entry with rel=author to an h-card with u-url and u-uid

If you want a quick bit of text to copy+paste into a script, you can use the JSON below, which link to all the tests and have the answers associated with them.
