This book is about Django, a Web development framework that saves you time and makes Web development a joy. Using Django, you can build and maintain high-quality Web applications with minimal fuss. At its best, Web development is an exciting, creative act; at its worst, it can be a repetitive, frustrating nuisance. Django lets you focus on the fun stuff – the crux of your Web application – while easing the pain of the repetitive bits.

Google Authorship Markup and the Beginning of Visual Search Cues - MyTechOpinion.com
Recently Google announced they were piloting a program to start presenting author information in organic search results.
