This requires us to update the `author` front-matter, requiring it to be an array of objects instead of a single string. This paves the way for us to include further author metadata. For now we only add "name" which expects a string.

This resolves #1758 by adding author images to blog posts, both on the post page and in the list view. It's not overly designed - I went for a simple solution for now that can be expanded on later if the site is refreshed (as suggested in #1787).
