Adding authors to your Tokyo Jekyll theme is a straightforward process that involves just two steps. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Assign an Author ID to Your Post

In the front matter of your blog post, you’ll need to include the author_id field. This ID links your post to a specific author.

author_id: 3

For example, your post’s front matter might look like this:

---
layout: post
title: "Test Post Title"
date: 2019-08-01 10:59:37 +0600
post_image: /assets/images/blog-images/blog-img16.jpg
tags: [tag1, tag2, tag3]
categories: [category-name]
author_id: 3
comments: false
excerpt: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua."
---

Here, the author_id is set to 3. You can use any unique number (e.g., 3, 4, 5) to identify different authors.

Step 2: Create an Author Entry in the _authors Data Folder

After assigning an author_id to your post, you must create a corresponding HTML file for that author within your _authors data folder. This file contains the author’s details.

Here’s an example of the configuration for an author file:

---
layout: author
name: John Doe
author_id: 3
email: example@yourdomain.com
bio: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt.
image: /assets/images/authors/author-pic.jpg
location: Sao Paulo, BR
---

You can also include optional fields like facebook, twitter, instagram, or reddit with their respective social links. These will be displayed in the author information area.

Once created, copy this HTML file into your _authors data folder. If you’ve already created an HTML file for a particular author, you can skip this step.

Navigation

The navigation menu appears in the top header area of your site. You can manage and edit the navigation links by modifying the _data/navigation.yml file.

Example Navigation Structure

- title: Home
  url: /
  submenu:
    - title: Home Gradient
      url: /home-gradient
    - title: Home Image
      url: /home-image
    - title: Home Video
      url: /home-video
- title: Services
  url: /services
- title: Screenshots
  url: /screenshots
- title: Pricing
  url: /pricing
- title: Team
  url: /team
- title: Blog
  url: /blog
- title: Contact
  url: /contact

You can add a title and a url for each navigation item. To add a new link, such as an “About” page, simply append it to the list like this:

- title: About
  url: /about

To integrate your Mailchimp newsletter signup form with your Jekyll site, you need to add your Mailchimp list (audience) URL to the site’s configuration.

What is the Mailchimp List URL?

The Mailchimp list URL (sometimes called the form action URL) is a unique link provided by Mailchimp for each audience (list) you create. This URL allows your website to send subscription requests directly to your Mailchimp account.

How to Find Your Mailchimp List URL

1. Log in to your Mailchimp account.
2. Go to the “Audience” section and select the audience (list) you want to use.
3. Click on “Signup forms” in the audience dashboard.
4. Choose “Embedded forms.”
5. In the code Mailchimp provides, look for the form tag. The action attribute contains your unique list URL. It will look something like: https://YOUR_PREFIX.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=YOUR_U_ID&id=YOUR_ID

How to Add or Update the Mailchimp List URL in Jekyll

1. Open your site’s config.yml file in a text editor.
2. Find the following setting (or add it if it doesn’t exist):

mailchimp-list: "https://themeix.us16.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=4b7aa1c5c5ac54be844d58bcb&id=0e85c09412"

1. Replace the example URL above with your own Mailchimp list URL that you copied from the Mailchimp dashboard.

For example:

mailchimp-list: "https://YOUR_PREFIX.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=YOUR_U_ID&id=YOUR_ID"

Be sure to save your changes and redeploy your site after updating the configuration.

To implement a Disqus comment system on your Jekyll site, you’ll need to configure it with your own Disqus account. Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting your Disqus comments up and running across different themes:

1. Locate the Disqus Comment Include File:

   • Navigate to the _includes/disqus_comment.html file within your Jekyll theme directory.

2. Modify the Disqus Shortname:

   • On line 15 of the disqus_comment.html file, locate the existing Disqus shortname.
   • Replace the shortname with your own Disqus account shortname.
   • Original:

     s.src = "//shortname.disqus.com/embed.js";
     

   • Updated:

     s.src = "//your-disqus-shortname.disqus.com/embed.js";
     

   • For example, if your Disqus shortname is example, the code would become:

     s.src = "//example.disqus.com/embed.js";
     

3. Apply Changes Across Different Themes:

   • Use your personalized Disqus shortname in other themes you may utilize, ensuring a consistent commenting system throughout your website portfolio.

4. Testing and Troubleshooting:

   • After making these changes, ensure you build your Jekyll site and test the commenting feature on your pages.
   • In case you encounter any issues with your Disqus setup, feel free to reach out for support.
