💡 Web dev tip: mark up a byline as a real Person

An author box is a natural fit for schema.org's Person structured data — name, image, job title and social profiles — which lets search engines show a richer author card and helps establish E-E-A-T (experience, expertise, authoritativeness, trust) for the content. Since UnysonPlus already pulls the name, avatar, bio and social links from the WordPress user, this is exactly the kind of block worth annotating rather than leaving as plain divs. Schema.org: Person
