Authors

You can add and manage multiple authors on your blog using the Authors feature.

Accessing the Authors page

Click Authors in the navigation menu to view existing authors on your blog, and delete or add new ones.

Adding a new author

Look for the Add Author button on the Authors page, and click on it to add a new author profile to your blog.

Clicking on this button will open a new page where you can add an author name (1), title/role (2), expertise/topics covered (3), and bio (4).

• Author Name – This is the field where you’ll add the author’s name.
• Title/Role – Here, you should add your job title, professional role, or credentials related to credibility, experience, and expertise (e.g., Marketing Lead, Content Manager, SEO Specialist).
• Expertise/Topics covered – This section is shown as pill buttons below the author’s name, and here’s where you should add your areas of expertise, e.g., SEO, Content.
• Bio – In this section, you can write about the author's experience and expertise and structure the content using the options available in the content editor, including text, images, and videos.

Below the editor, you’ll find two more fields:

• Featured Links – This is where you can add links to your published work. This can be your own website or another website that published your work.
• Social Profiles – In this section, you can add the links to your social media profiles, ranging from Facebook and YouTube to GitHub and LinkedIn.

On the right side of the page, you have a couple of additional options. You can add the author’s image (1) and assign them a specific AI voice (2).

The Blog Voice AI™ section will appear only if you enable it from the Settings page.

Upon toggling the switch below Blog Voice AI™, you can select the language (1), locale (2), gender (3), and voice (4). After you customize and assign an AI voice to a specific author, these settings will apply to all the posts created by that author.

Advanced

At the bottom of the Authors page, you’ll find the Advanced section. After you click on it to expand it, you’ll see the following fields: SEO Title (1), SEO Description (2), and Slug (3), which are used to optimize author profiles for search engines.

Additionally, you can tick the box next to "Hide From Crawlers" (4) if you don’t want search engines to index the author page.

• SEO Title – Add the name of the author.
• SEO Description – Brief description of the author (up to ~160 characters). Longer descriptions may be truncated by Google.
• Slug – A common practice is to add your first and last name here, separated with a hyphen, but if you leave this field empty, it will default to your SEO title.

Click the Save Author button at the bottom of the page to add a new author profile.

Editing and deleting author profiles

To edit an existing author profile, hover over the author’s name, and you’ll see a pencil icon. Click on it to open the author’s profile page.

To delete a profile, simply click the trash icon to the right of the author’s name.

Assigning authors to a post from within the post editor

When you create an author profile, you can assign it to any post on your DropInBlog blog.

To do that, open the post to which you want to assign an author, and, on the right-hand side of the editor, you’ll find the Author section.

To add an author to your blog post, select one of the available names from the dropdown and save your changes.

You’ve now learned how to add, manage, and assign authors on your DropInBlog blog.

Happy blogging!
