For those of you who may have content written by multiple authors on your site you can now assign different authors to each post if desired.
Previously the theme used a global author for the entire site and those attributes would be used in all bylines, social networking links, Twitter Card attribution, and Google Authorship. These `owner` variables were defined in `config.yml`
Start by modifying or creating a new `authors.yml` file in the `_data` folder and add your authors using the following format.
{% highlight yaml %}
# Authors
billy_rick:
name: Billy Rick
web: http://thewhip.com
email: billy@rick.com
bio: "What do you want, jewels? I am a very extravagant man."

twitter: extravagantman

plus: BillyRick
cornelius_fiddlebone:
name: Cornelius Fiddlebone
email: cornelius@thewhip.com
bio: "I ordered what?"
avatar: bio-photo.jpg
twitter: rhymeswithsackit

plus: CorneliusFiddlebone
{% endhighlight %}
