Description

@MarkOnFire

Summary

Add author profile cards that display author images and bios in two locations:

1. Author archive pages (author.hbs)

The current author page shows a basic header. Enhance it with:

  • Author profile image (from Ghost admin)
  • Author bio text
  • Social links (if configured)
  • Styled consistently with the Wonder Cabinet brand

2. Episode post pages (post.hbs)

Add an author card at the bottom of episode posts (below episode notes, above comments/CTA) showing:

  • Author profile image
  • Author name (linked to author archive)
  • Author bio
  • Works for single and multi-author posts

Context

The no-audio post layout already includes a byline via {{authors separator=" & "}} in the post-header partial. This enhancement would extend author attribution to all posts with a richer visual treatment, and improve the author archive pages.

Implementation Notes

  • Ghost provides {{primary_author.profile_image}}, {{primary_author.bio}}, {{primary_author.website}}, etc.
  • For multi-author, iterate with {{#foreach authors}}...{{/foreach}}
  • Consider a reusable partials/components/author-card.hbs partial for both locations
  • Style with black background, cream text, green accents per brand guide

Acceptance Criteria

  • Author archive pages display profile image and bio
  • Episode posts show author card(s) below content
  • Multi-author posts display all authors
  • Mobile responsive at 767px breakpoint
  • Follows Wonder Cabinet brand system (Jost headings, EB Garamond body, brand colors)
