Inspired by a talk by [Martin Belam](http://www.currybet.net/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com "Martin Belam") yesterday, I’ve spent a little time today exploring things like [Open Graph](http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph?ref=onemanandhisblog.com "Open Graph protocol") metadata and [Google Authorship](http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=1229920&ref=onemanandhisblog.com).

This stuff is right on the edge of my (very) limited techie abilities. I’m a journalist, not a coder, dammit… 😉

However, if all has gone according to plan, entries from the blog should now look at LOT better if shared on Facebook or Google+, and my smiling face should start appearing in Google search results opposite my posts. Let’s see if it all works, shall we?
