About Me
Introduce yourself to your readers with an avatar, brief biography, and links to your social media identities.
Create a user profile
Setup a user profile and then edit a page section in your homepage to associate an About block with your username (the username is the name of the folder in authors/
). For example, admin is the username (folder name) of the default authors/admin/
user profile.
