An Author is a person who has written a blog. The author’s name is displayed at the top of the blog post so that the visitor is aware of the author. Using the author phenomenon for your blog helps your readers know about all the writers of your blog.
In most cases, you may not be the only writer for your blog. You can allow guest writers to write posts for your blog and you’ll also have an option of whether or not to show the name of the author on the blog post.
Pixpa allows you to add multiple author profiles to your blog.
When the author’s name is clicked on, all the posts written by the particular author will be shown.
