Overide author information per page

In addition to providing data for a single author as shown in the example above, author can be overided per page. If a author key in page's frontmatter exists it will be used instead of the default one. Overrides per page can be done by adding author* = "value entry in the front matter. For those pages where you want to omit the author block completely, a .Params.noauthor entry is also available.

Example override author per page file:

+++
date = "2014-07-11T10:54:24+02:00"
title = ""
author = "NickName"
authoravatar = "https://cdn4.iconfinder.com/data/icons/gray-user-management/512/rounded-512.png"
authorbio = "IT software and Security Engineer, Open source enthusiast."
authorlocation = "Paris, France"
authorwebsite = "http://vjeantet.fr"
