There is comment section in about page. It should be removed.
Describe the solution you'd like
Create new page named about.html in theme folder. Because it always used for personal blog. That means most articles are written by the ourselves. I think one common about.html page is more make sense than different authors in config.yml. I also suggest new variable originalURL (if the article is reproduce from somewhere else) for article.md, and author can be a string which is original author of that article.
Just to make sure I do not get you wrong, you want to (a) remove the comment section in the about page, (b) use a single customized about page, and (c) create an external link to the originial author in specific articles.
For (a), you could complete it easily by wrapping the comment code with conditional statements in the script of _comment.html, e.g. if(window.location.pathname.contains("about")).
For (b), I suppose that we do support plain HTML files. Just put them in your source directory with the same filenames (e.g. about.me.html), and they will be seen as baked contents and copied to the public directory at bulid.
For (c), there could be some more "elegant" ways to accomplish this. For example, we are going to support article-level user-defined variables in the future. Please tell if you have other good ideas.
Close due to stale.
