Daniel Haim 3f61ceac70 Removed support for meta `author` 
## Summary

Removed `<meta name="author" />` tag

1. `<meta name="author" />` has been dropped back in 2014.
2. `<meta name="author" />` is used incorrectly in the template.

## Further information:
- [Special tags currently supported by Google](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/79812?hl=en)
- [Moz on "author" tag, listed under "Bad Metas"](https://moz.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-seo-meta-tags)
- [Google Authorship Markup](https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2011/06/authorship-markup-and-web-search.html)
- [Google Scholar Metadata & the `author` tag](https://www.monperrus.net/martin/accurate+bibliographic+metadata+and+google+scholar
)

The correct way to use the `authorship` tag is:
```
<a href="/authorname/archive" rel="author">Author Name</a>
```

or when citing a source:

```
<meta name="citation_title" content="Crystal structure of squid rhodopsin" />
<meta name="citation_publication_date" content="1999" />
<meta name="citation_author" content="Murakami, Midori" />
<meta name="citation_author" content="Kouyama, Tsutomu" />
<meta name="citation_pdf_url" content="crist_struct.pdf" />
```

About Jekyll SEO Tag

A Jekyll plugin to add metadata tags for search engines and social networks to better index and display your site's content.

Gem Version Build Status

What it does

Jekyll SEO Tag adds the following meta tags to your site:

While you could theoretically add the necessary metadata tags yourself, Jekyll SEO Tag provides a battle-tested template of crowdsourced best-practices.

What it doesn't do

Jekyll SEO tag is designed to output machine-readable metadata for search engines and social networks to index and display. If you're looking for something to analyze your Jekyll site's structure and content (e.g., more traditional SEO optimization), take a look at The Jekyll SEO Gem.

Jekyll SEO tag isn't designed to accommodate every possible use case. It should work for most site out of the box and without a laundry list of configuration options that serve only to confuse most users.
