Guest writers
My friend Luís modified one of my blog posts on WebGL shaders, and we posted it here. I didn’t have this blog set up for guest posts, so here’s what I’ve done.
I need to mark who wrote the post.
We do this with an author key in the metadata, like:
---
title: "Cool WebGL shader"
author: luis
---
This should default to me.
I set this in my _config.yml:
defaults:
- values:
author: jim
For info about those authors, I created _data/people.yaml:
luis:
name: "Luís Fonseca"
url: "http://luisfonseca.xyz/"
We can look up this data in the post layout, like so:
{% if page.author != "jim" %}
<h2>By
<a href="{{site.data.people[page.author].url}}">
{{site.data.people[page.author].name}}
</a>
</h2>
{% endif %}
