    FAQ 6.16 - How do I find more information about a winning author of an entry?

    +
    +
    +

    At the top of the index.html file of a winning entry with the author you want +information on, you should see a section called Author. All you have to do is +click on the author’s name (it’s a link) and it will take you to their +information in the authors.html page.

    +

    There you will find various information, sometimes just location (if that’s +known) and other times their mastodon handle (as a link), a link to their +website (and sometimes an alt website), their GitHub handle (as a link) and a +link to their author.json file (the link title is their name). That +author.json file might have additional information. In all cases there is a +link to each of their winning entries.

    +

    Of course if you know the author’s name you can go directly to +authors.html and click on their surname’s/last name’s/second +name’s initial and then scroll down (if necessary) to the author in question.
