I often add the author's name to the title of my posts. I've debated adding an optional author field for posts. I've mentioned it a few times, but most didn't think it worthwhile. I might start experimenting with it. The problem is that publishers don't typically employ a byline, author, or address field, and it's difficult to control for multiple spellings or similar names. There should be a stardard for it, however I doubt publishers would want that.The general takeaway is that Google proved it was adding value to the publishers, but I have a different angle: the publisher’s demonstrated that they provide no value to their writers.
