Jekyll Authors

This gem provides a Jekyll generator for author pages, author feeds and an author index.

Basic Setup

Install the gem:

[sudo] gem install jekyll-authors

In a plugin file within your Jekyll project's _plugins directory:

# _plugins/my-plugin.rb
require "jekyll-authors"

Create the following layouts:

  • author_index.html
  • author_list.html
  • author_feed.xml

Bundler Setup

Already using bundler to manage gems for your Jekyll project? Then just add

gem "jekyll-authors"

to your gemfile and create the following plugin in your projects _plugins directory. I've called mine bundler.rb. This will automatically require all of the gems specified in your Gemfile.

# _plugins/bundler.rb
require "rubygems"
require "bundler/setup"
Bundler.require(:default)
