I recently wrote about how you can create your own profile on Mormon.org and print personalized pass-along cards with your own picture.

Now you can link your Mormon.org profile to your Google+ account, which earns Google authorship ranking which may help your profile be seen more.

Here are the step-by-step instructions:

1. Go to mormon.org/profile and sign in with your LDS Account.
2. Click Edit This Profile.
3. Scroll down to the Social Networks section.
4. Click the option to Add Google+ Link and enter your Google+ URL.
5. Click Submit for Review.

Note: To find your Google+ URL, go to your Google+ profile, click About, and you’ll find it at the top of the Links section. For example, mine is google.com/+LarryRichman. If you haven’t yet created your own vanity URL (instructions here), then your URL may look something like plus.google.com/115229808208707341778.

Then link your Google+ profile to your Mormon.org profile by following these steps:

1. Go to your Google+ profile.
2. Click About.
3. Scroll down to the Links section and click Edit at the bottom of that box.
4. In the section Contributor To, click Add Custom Link.
5. In the Label box, type a title, such as “Mormon.org Profile” and in the URL box, enter your Mormon.org profile URL.
6. Click Save at the bottom of the page.
7. Test it out by clicking the entry you just made.

Note: To find your Mormon.org profile URL, go to mormon.org/profile and click My Profiles in the left navigation. Then in the middle of the page, click View this Published Profile and a new tab will open to show your profile. Your profile URL is the web address of that page. For example, mine is mormon.org/me/1VC9.
