johndoe:

website: https://github.com/barepants
bio: An awesome bio # Author info at bottom of post only shows if bio exists

Crossing generates Open Graph and Twitter Cards meta tags automatically for better social media sharing. There are two extra settings:
# _config.yml
og_image: /images/og-image.jpg # Fallback og:image when no page.image or site.image. at least 200 x 200px.
twitter_site: # twitter:site. Your Twitter username without "@"page.excerpt is used for meta description of posts and pages. It is the first paragraph by default for posts. For pages you have to set it in the Front Matter:
---
excerpt: An excerpt
---
Twitter Cards requires meta description. Facebook could infer it from the page if it's empty.
