New Authors App
This week we deployed a new Authors app that gives you more control over the author information for blog posts.
When you add or edit a blog post you can attribute an author to the post. By default it'll be your author profile, but you can choose another person as the author.
That is useful if you're creating blog posts on behalf of someone else.
In the past, the author list was from the list of adminsitrative users. But, with the new Authors app you can now create author profiles for people that aren't administrative users. The new Authors app isn't linked with administrative users anymore.
To view the new Authors app go to Users -> Authors in your website administration.
**Authors now have their own pages**
Because the Authors app is a stand-alone app, each author can now have their own profile page.
We also added author pages to the Blog app so that you can easily show posts created by an author.
