Creating Author About Pages

The _layouts/author_default.html template generates a navigation 'About' link which points to the Los Techies about page by default. To have the 'About' link refer to a personal about page, create an about.html page in your author folder with the following front matter:

---
layout: author_page
permalink: /[author folder]/about.html
index: true
---
[Your content here]

The layout variable is used to specify that this should use the _layouts/author_page.html template.

The permalink variable is required to ensure the page is generated in the proper sub-folder (e.g. /johndoe/about.html).

The index variable is used to denote special pages which shouldn't appear in a general listing of author posts.

Note: A set of basic images are available in /assets/images/ for use in creating links for email, rss, and twitter.
