## Setting up the author bio
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A set of configuration options are used for displaying the biography.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
[params]
|
||
|
|
Author = "Author Name"
|
||
|
|
Avatar = "images/site-logo.svg"
|
||
|
|
Biography = "A short description, a few sentences describing the author. Set
|
||
|
|
the 'ShowBio' parameter to false to hide this."
|
||
|
|
ShowBio = true
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[params.indieWeb]
|
||
|
|
EmailAddress = "email.address@example.com"
|
||
|
|
Country = "CountryName"
|
||
|
|
City = "CityName"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Specifics on each setting item are as follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `Author`: Your name; this is the site author name.
|
||
|
|
- `Avatar`: The path to your profile picture. By default, it will show the theme's logo (`/static/images/site-logo.svg`).
|
||
|
|
- `Biography`: Hopefully the placeholder text here is self-explanatory; add a couple of short sentences about yourself here.
|
||
|
|
- `ShowBio`: If you prefer not to show the author bio, set this to `false`. By default, it's set to `true`.
|
||
|
|
- `EmailAddress`: The email address at which you can be contacted.
|
||
|
|
- `Country`: The name of the country in which you live.
|
||
|
|
- `City`: The name of the city in which you live.
|
||
|
