# This transforms the data associated with each post, specifically the author.
# We store our author information in a yaml file and specify the keys in The
# post front matter. Instead of looking up the complete data each time we need
# it, we'll just look it up here and assign. This plays nicely with tools like
# jekyll-feed which expect post.author to be in a specific format.
