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/

An update of sorts: I just added the code to my Wordpress sites - easy peasy!
I also attempted to do this with my #GhostIO blog. I edited a couple of .hbs files with “head” and “header” in their names. My spray and pray approach LOL. Well, it worked for my federated Wordpress blogs, hoping the same holds true here. All fingers and toes crossed 😅
Please don’t mind me - trying to see if the #Mastodon author attribution code worked for my Ghost blog (had to edit a HBS file and not sure if I did the right thing):

🙃
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?
