Authors

The authors structure is based on this blog post.

Add the taxonomy "author".
hugo new authors/john-doe/_index.md
Configure the author metadata twitter.
Configure the author metadata images. First image on the list will be used as the avatar and on the profile page. Images are page resources under the author e.g. content/authors/john-doe/image.png.
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

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