| Layout: Author Override | Billy Rick | A post to test author overrides using a data file. |
For those of you who may have content written by multiple authors on your site you can now assign different authors to each post if desired.
Previously the theme used a global author for the entire site and those attributes would be used in all bylines, social networking links, Twitter Card attribution, and Google Authorship. These owner variables were defined in config.yml
Start by modifying or creating a new authors.yml file in the _data folder and add your authors using the following format.
# /_data/authors.yml
