Feature - Contributors
Whether you’re going solo, working with a buddy, or are a member of a larger team, you can promote everyone on the contributors’ page.
The overview text is stored in /content/contributors/index.md, which includes a reference to the widget list-contributors.liquid. That bit of logic processes the folder looking for files containing contributor bios (which is to say all files in that directory except the one hosting the widget — index.md).
├─ content
└── contributors
├── 01-joe.md
├── 02-andrew.md
├── 03-steven.md
├── 04-scott.md
└── index.md
The filenames don’t matter. It’s the metadata and content of the file that drives everything. I’ve prefixed my filenames with numbers to have them displayed on the contributors page in a specific order.
Here’s a snippet from one of the example bios.
