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.
|
|
|
|
{% highlight yaml %}
|
|
# Authors
