+Sites that may have content authored from various individuals can be accommodated by using [data files](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/datafiles/).
+
+To attribute an author to a post or page that is different from the site author specified in `_config.yml`:
+
+**Step 1.** Create `_data/authors.yml` and add authors using the following format. Anything variables found under `author` in `_config.yml` can be used (e.g. `name`, `avatar`, `uri`, social media profiles, etc.).
+
+```yaml
+# /_data/authors.yml
+
+Billy Rick:
+  name: "Billy Rick"
+  uri: "http://thewhip.com"
+  email: "billy@rick.com"
+  bio: "What do you want, jewels? I am a very extravagant man."
+  avatar: "bio-photo-2.jpg"
+  twitter: "extravagantman"
+
+Cornelius Fiddlebone:
+  name: "Cornelius Fiddlebone"
+  email: "cornelius@thewhip.com"
+  bio: "I ordered what?"
+  avatar: "bio-photo.jpg"
+  twitter: "rhymeswithsackit"
+```
+
+**Step 2.** Assign one of the authors in `authors.yml` to a post or page you wish to override the `site.author` with. 
+
+Example: To assign `Billy Rick` as an author for a post the following YAML Front Matter would be applied:
+
+```yaml
+author: Billy Rick
+```
