Unsure on how to set up your Author Bio?

If you're unsure or worried you'll break something then speak with your developer and get them to add this code on each page where you want the bio to be displayed. Alternatively, if you have a CMS that provides the option to add author information, log in to the system and paste it in there. Below is an example on how to set up your author bio in Wordpress.
