Add this line to your Jekyll site's `Gemfile`:

**Link posts** — set `title` to an empty string and provide a `source` URL. The post title renders as "↪ [fetched page title]" using `jekyll-url-metadata`:
57
+
**Link posts**: you can have link posts by setting a `post.source` front-matter on your post. If the title is left empty (`""`), Jekyll will try to fetch the link metadata and render the link title as your post title.

### Authors

Define authors in `_data/authors.yml`:

Authors follow the same approach as [jekyll-feed](https://github.com/jekyll-feed) and [jekyll-archives](https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-archives). You can have an author object set in a post, or in the site `_config.yml`, or in a `authors.yml` data file.

In a post:

```yaml

-
arthur:
