Authors need to be created to be able to create blog articles. Below are the steps you need to follow to create an author. 

1. Go to Management, then expand Advanced and look for the Blog section. 
2. Here, choose Author, and a screen with all possible authors that may have already been added will appear. 
3. In the upper right corner, choose Add author to add a new author.  
4. Enter the Name of the author. If you want to use the blog page as a news page, enter a general name such as "Editorial."
5. Optionally, choose a profile picture and click Save. 
6. The author is now created.
