Author Bios

The bottom of every page in the theme can optionally show a short biography of the site author, including a profile picture, email link, and location.

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.
