Authors

A useful complement to the Blog Module, the Authors Module lets you link Authors to Blog posts they've written and vice-versa. The Authors module can be installed on any site and are typically used in connection with the Blog Module to group posts and display who has written a blog post. Authors can also be used independently in WebApps by using Datasources. You can also add Social Media and website links to each Author which enables visitors to engage with the Authors on other platforms.
