Add an author page - mdsimpson42/converse GitHub Wiki

If you are adding a blog post for the first time, you will also need to create an author page.

Author Pages

Author pages are used as a profile page for the author, allowing them to introduce themselves and link to their personal or institutional web pages. They will also include a list to all of the blog posts written by that author.

• Check out Mike's page as an example of the kind of content we are looking for on this page [ Code | Page ].

Instructions

To add an author page, you will need to add a markdown file into the _contributors folder in the base directory of the code.

The markdown file should include the following header material:

---
short_name: mike_simpson
title: Mike Simpson
image: mike-simpson.jpg
job_title: Research Software Engineer
institution: Newcastle University
tags: [author]
menu: about
---

Your name (title), job description and institution will be displayed at the top of the page. The order and menu parameters can be ignored.

The rest of the markdown file will then be used as the main body of the profile page. Feel free to include additional images and links on this page.

If you are a contributor to the site, replace the [author] tag with [contributor]. Or if you are both an author and have contributed to the development of the site, add both [author, contributor].

Adding an image

You will also need to add a profile picture, which should be added to the assets/img/contributors folder. You then only need to add the filename to the image: [filename] parameter above.
