Hey @jehoshua7, partials aren’t well documented at the moment. Addtionally, the content partial was newly introduced with the last release.

Create a new file `layouts/partials/content.html` in your site’s root directory with the following content:

```auto
{{- .Content -}}

<div class="author">{{- .Params.author -}}</div>

```

Add a `author` field to the front matter in each of your pages.

That should do the job.
