HUGE thanks to @robb@social.lol for writing a clear, easy-to-follow #guide on how to enable #Fediverse author attribution on blogs/websites - so that it will show up under the link card: https://rknight.me/blog/setting-up-mastodon-author-tags/

    My “spray and pray” approach to coding worked once again 😆

    I LOVE seeing the author tag linking to my Mastodon profile under previews of my blog posts: https://blog.elenarossini.com/a-great-day-for-writers-introducing-mastodon-author-tags/

    Thank you @Mastodon@mastodon.social team! This is awesome.

    (For the record, this is really easy to do on Wordpress - a little trickier for Ghost, thus the mention of my “spray and pray” approach)

    Edit: as @shollyethan@fosstodon.org smartly suggested, Ghost has a “code injection” tab (so it’s easy there too!)

      @_elena@mastodon.social I haven’t tested if myself yet, but are you not able to add it to Ghost’s headers via Code Injection rather than editing HBS files?

        If anyone is looking for the files after the "add code to a couple of .hbs files with “head” and “header” in their names. " 😂

        The file is located in /content/themes/source/default.hbs depends on the path and theme.

        @shollyethan
        Tested with Code Injection, it seems like the easiest method. No file edits.

        That’s probably how @molly0xfff used on her Citation Needed blog before Author attribution was available for the public.
