Now Multiple Authors Can Create Articles:
You can now create or collaborate with multiple authors,Especially when you are working with teams. Each author will have a unique page of her written articles also her profile widget in Articles written by his/her.
For this every Author needs to have a unique username (without space) For eg. If Author is John Doe - the username should be johndoe or john-doe (without space).This key will be used by devlopr, to fetch individual author’s profile pages internally.
Configuring Authors :
Under _authors folder create a author details file (username.md) with his/her username (as described above). For eg. johndoe.md.
Then add this frontmatter to describe the author in johndoe.md.
