On a given blog, can meta name=“author” content=”” reflect the owner of the URL instead of being mutable by a theme author?

Is there a reason why this should change based on the theme?

@hjalm There’s no simple way to enforce this, except for @manton manually rejecting the theme from the plugin directory. Third-party theme developers should include microblog_head.html along with a few other snippets, but beyond that, they’re free to design and build their themes however they like.

The author metadata isn’t part of the default Micro.blog setup, so some themes will include it while others won’t. It’s up to the developer.

@manton @sod It’s a nitpick, I know. My concern is that I’m seeing that metadata parsed now in ways that I hadn’t seen previously. The themes render well, of course—honestly, many are very lovely.
