Hey! I like this project and want to follow your blog! Unfortunately right now Zola's RSS feed plugin doesn't render the content of the post to the feed. This PR fixes that and also refactors how you add authors to posts using Zola's default authors array and description string. See Zola's front matter docs for details.

I also added a README for the website. Couldn't find this anywhere, should make it easier for other people to get started :)

Changes

  • Adds a basic README.md file with instructions on how to build the site
  • Adds a custom atom feed template
    • Includes the full text in the post!
  • Refactors custom author front matter tag to use Zola default authors array
  • Refactors custom summary front matter tag to use Zola default description string
  • Improves rendering of post dates with the tag

Actually, it occurs to me that I'm missing a few tags that could be added to the feed. Pls don't merge just yet :)
