Custom Author Front Matter

A short example post showing that preview cards and post headers display an author only when the post defines one in front matter.

This post exists to demonstrate the optional custom author metadata.

When a post includes author in its front matter, the author appears alongside the date in preview cards and in the post header. Posts without that field do not fall back to the site-wide author name.

The behavior keeps the theme quiet by default while still supporting credited guest posts, interviews, or imported articles where an author should be shown.
