New Knative Blog Posts don't have authors

[omerbensaadon]

Expected Behavior

When someone posts a blog, I expect to see an author and a link out to their socials

Actual Behavior

It's not clear who the author is for Blog Posts

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Load a blog post
2. Try and find the author

Looking at the mkdocs blog, it looks like we'll have to manually add author names to each blog post... :cry:

I also noted that Knative blog posts don't have a date on them. I think dates are important so could we add them as part of this issue?

Looks like there is a plan for mkdocs to support blog authors as part of adding better support for blogs: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/issues/3353

Might be worth weighing in on the issue if there's anything specific we'd like to see.

Update blogs in Articles folder to include author names and date and remove Hugo front matter

Example: https://github.com/knative/docs/blob/main/blog/docs/articles/distributed-tracing.md

Before:

After (using the info from the frontmatter to add title, author, and date):

You can use the following command to get the (first) author and date for a given file.

git log --pretty="tformat:%an      %aD" --diff-filter=A -- $FILENAME
