The Author component was designed to help readers identify who wrote the content and when. Options include adding the author’s name, a profile picture, and the date and time of publication. Styling options are limited to spacing adjustments.

Usage
Do
- Ensure the author’s name is correctly spelled and accurately reflects the person who wrote the content.
- Use a professional profile picture that represents the author well.
- If appropriate, include the date and time to inform readers when the content was published or last updated.
- Make sure the component’s design aligns with the overall style of your website or article.
Don't
- Avoid using low-resolution or blurry profile pictures as they can appear unprofessional.
- Don’t forget to update the author’s information if there’s a change in the author or their profile.
- Don’t use generic or placeholder names like “Admin” unless it’s absolutely necessary.
- Refrain from using images with distracting backgrounds or irrelevant elements.
Accessibility
- Since the author’s name is displayed directly next to the image, there’s no need for alt text, as the name itself provides the necessary context for accessibility.
