Enable ABlog's native "postcard" sidebar template on blog post pages so each post shows its date and author (plus category/location/language), with author/category entries linking to their index pages. Also enable FontAwesome icons, which the PyData theme already bundles. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Note that the sidebar can be used to add additional info, such as links to Recent Posts, Archives (per year) etc., but I've chosen to keep only the 'postcard' to keep things simple. |

I think we should add the extra info like recent posts. It's slightly less tidy, but I think it's better to have some useful content than a large expanse of white space. I think it also serves two purposes:

Summary
Adds author (and date) bylines to blog posts using ABlog's native postcard sidebar template, rather than custom extension code.
This is an alternative implementation of #988, which achieves a similar goal by injecting a byline under the post title via a custom handler (~73 lines of Python + CSS). Here the same information is surfaced through ABlog's maintained
postcardtemplate with a smallconf.pychange and no custom templates, CSS, or extension code.Trade-off vs #988
The metadata appears in the post sidebar rather than as a byline directly under the title. In exchange, it relies entirely on ABlog's own templates, so there's nothing custom to maintain. Note that setting
html_sidebarsforblog/**replaces the default site-nav sidebar on blog pages only.For what it's worth, I find @PolarBean's #988 version prettier, but think going the Ablog way is better maintenance-wise.
Testing
Built the docs locally and confirmed the postcard renders on blog post pages with linked author names.
