Adding <link> references

External sites
1

I have a Twitter and GitHub username set on https://micro.blog/account/apps page so as to include a reference to those accounts. How do I add other references?

You have to do that through a custom theme. Maybe you already have one? If not, follow Manton’s instructions here. Then:

  1. Follow this link or go to Design → Edit Custom Themes.

  2. Click on your custom theme.

  3. Click on the template containing the <head> section. Probably layouts/partials/head.html.

  4. Add your <link> element to the template. <link rel="me" href="https://example/yourhandle" />

  5. Press Update Template, wait for your site to rebuild, and celebrate. :tada:

Hi @sod , thanks for the help.

I have a modified Ariba theme which I called Pour Over. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I added <link rel="me" href="https://islandinthenet.com/" /> to layouts/partials/head.html as follows.

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />

    <!-- Page Meta -->
    <title>
      {{ block "title" . }}
      {{ if .IsHome }}{{ .Site.Title }}{{ else }}{{ .Site.Title }} - {{ .Title }}{{ end }}
      {{ end }}
	</title>

    <meta name="HandheldFriendly" content="True" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />

    {{ if .RSSLink -}}
      <link href="{{ .RSSLink }}" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="{{ .Site.Title }}" />
      <link href="{{ "podcast.xml" | absURL }}" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Podcast" />
      <link rel="alternate" type="application/json" title="{{ .Site.Title }}" href="{{ "feed.json" | absURL }}" />
      <link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" href="{{ "rsd.xml" | absURL }}" />
    {{ end -}}
