You all have probably heard that Google is now giving more attention to the authorship markup. This markup, when properly verified, provides a a rich snippet of your authors bio along with a small picture that appear on search results. When someone clicks on your profile, Google will direct users to your Google+ profile, which in turn will points a link to your author bio.
If you have many contributors in your site or blog, you may have noticed that there is not much information you can get from your authors. usually it will only be a small bio (the one we provide in WordPress), along with a list of the post that author as written in your blog. If you think about it, that small info is really not that compelling and users as well as search engines tend to steer away from those pages with little or no value.
Ideally, you will want your author pages to be filled with more information and turn them into a content page, that is rich wit information about the author. Not only is this good for users in general, it is also good for SEO. Now, all this thing about author markup, extended bio and all that could be very complicated to add in your website, should you attempt to code it in yourself.
