Tweak the Authorsure options to work best with your WordPress theme.
Run through the process yourself by setting up your own Google profile following the instructions in the Help on the profile page.
For the other authors on the blog you can set up their profiles for them using the Edit User page or you can let them make the updates themselves on the Your Profile page
To use the rel="publisher" then create a Google Page (not a Profile) and then create a link to the home page of the blog.
You can leave the default settings here if your WordPress theme puts a link with rel=author to the author page in the post 'byline'.

{$labels}
Enter the text you want to appear as the text on the link to the profile page. For example, "Google+", "GooglePlus", etc.
The heading that precede the list of posts (or post excerpts) by the author. (e.g. Here are my most recent posts). Leave blank if you do not want a heading
Enter your Google Plus page ID here if your have set up a "Google+ Page" for your organization or product, and AuthorSure will put a rel="publisher" link to the specified Google+ page on your home page, {$homepage} .
Google+ Profiles provide people with an identity and presence on Google+. By linking each author to their profile on
Google and then placing a link on the Google Profile page back to the author page, Google is able to verify the authorship of posts
and hence show a photo of the author in the search results.
Google+ Pages provide businesses, products, brands, entertainment and organizations with an identity and presence on Google+.
If you’ve created a Google+ page, Google strongly recommend linking from that page to your website and vice versa.
