Author Stats Added To Google Webmaster Tools [googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com]

Authors have also been giving us a lot of feedback on what else they'd like to see, so today we're introducing “Author Stats” in Webmaster Tools that shows you how often your content is showing up on the Google search results page. If you associate your content with your Google Profile either via e-mail verification or a simple link, you can visit Webmaster Tools to see how many impressions and clicks your content got on the Google search results page.

Does anyone else lose the left-hand sidebar when you check out the Author stats page? It's missing in both Firefox 8 and Chrome for me...

Yup. Gone in Camino.

:: quick detour ::

Missing everywhere. Couldn't check in MSIE 5.2, which is so ancient it shouldn't even run on my Mac, and won't display most pages with javascript. But the other five all look the same. Has the GWT header always been red, and I just didn't notice it until there was nothing underneath?

Edit:

If you want your authorship information to appear in search results for the content you create, you'll need a Google Profile with a good, recognizable headshot as your profile photo.

Where's the "jumping up and down screaming in rage" emoticon when you really need it? Yes, I realize it doesn't say explicitly "Headshot of yourself". But somehow I don't think they'll accept Nelly, no matter how often I've used her as an avatar.
