Authors

The authors structure is based on this blog post.

  1. Add the taxonomy "author".

  2. hugo new authors/john-doe/_index.md

  3. Configure the author metadata twitter.

  5. Assign the author to a content:

    ---
authors: ["John Doe"]
---

Content images

The images structure is based on this blog post.

Upload the images that will be used on content pages under content/images and create the file content/images/index.md with the front matter:

---
headless: true
---

Set the path to the image in a post content under the images property:

---
images: ["/images/image.png"]
---

The first image on the list will be used as the "cover" image on a post.

Prism

Configure Prism under [params.prismJS] and set enable to true. Change the theme under theme.

[params]
  [params.prismJS]
    enable = true
    theme = "okaidia"

Commento

Configure Commento under [params.commento]. Set enable to true and add the URL at url:

[params]
  [params.commento]
    enable = true
    theme = "https://somename.commento.io"

Share

Enable sharing under params with share set to true and disable per-post sharing by setting share to false in the front matter.

[params]
  share = true

---
share: false
---
