Authors & categories
Give posts a byline and a home — authors with bios and social links, categories with colors and landing pages.
Posts get structure from two things: who wrote it (author) and what it's about (categories). Both come with their own public landing pages.
Where to manage them
- Blog panel — the Authors and Categories tabs list what exists, each with a New button.
- Inline, while editing a post — the author dropdown and the category picker in post settings both have a create-new option, so you never have to leave the post.
- Chat — "add an author named Sarah Chen", "add a category called Tutorials".
Authors
An author has:
| Field | Used where |
|---|---|
| Name | The byline on every post, and the author page heading |
| Avatar | Next to the byline and on the author page |
| Bio | On the author page (/blog/author/sarah-chen) |
| Social links | X/Twitter, LinkedIn, GitHub, Instagram, website, email — shown as icons in the byline and on the author page |
The byline on a post links to the author's page, which lists all their posts.
Categories
A category has:
| Field | Used where |
|---|---|
| Name | The pill on post cards and post pages |
| Description | On the category page (/blog/category/tech) |
| Color | The pill/accent color |
| Cover image | Optional hero on the category page |
Categories power two things for readers: the filter on your blog home (click a pill — the list narrows without a page change) and the category landing pages.
Tip
Keep categories few and meaningful — 3–6 that genuinely partition your content beat 20 near-duplicates. You can always add more later, in one chat message.
