Author Information

[patdavid]

In an effort to clean up the frontmatter on posts, I thought it would make sense to possibly move author information to either separate metadata yaml files, or as template partials. I'm thinking more the former than the latter with using the metalsmith-metadata plugin which will allow us to load arbitrary metadata from external files.

I already keep author avatar images in:

I guess we could move the avatars + the .yaml file to a new location and keep it there. Then just make sure the author: metadata matches an entry in the .yaml file. This would really help clean up posts and allow us to keep all author data in sync across all posts.

This seems to be exactly what we want: http://blog.lecomte.me/posts/2015/build-complex-metalsmith-plugin/
