- Hello friends, this is Sue Jenkins with…Productivity Tips for Web Designers.…In this week's lesson,…I'll show you an awesome design technique…to make odd-sized images work in your web layout.…When you're creating your layouts for the web,…invariably there will come a time when the image you have…won't fit into your design…whether you scale it up or crop it down.…In those situations,…it usually seems like you only have two choices,…you either abandon the image…and start searching for another one…or you use the image as best you can…and hope that no one notices the odd cropping…or reduced quality.…

Q: In "Organic and ethical SEO coding," the author mentions Google+ Authorship. I heard Authorship results are no longer shown in Google search results. Why? Are there benefits to keeping the Google+ Authorship markup on my site?
A: As of September 2014, Google discontinued Google+ Authorship for SEO. The only reason to keep the code on your site would be for Author Rank purposes. See http://searchengineland.com/google-authorship-dead-author-rank-202254 for more information.
