So I guess it's time for an #introduction. Well, I'm a 30 something #Black #queer woman. I love to read #books. I love the #NYKnicks. I like #bicycles even though, it's not my primary mode of transportation. I like refurbishing and upgrading old electronics, specifically #iPods and #laptops. #TV and music have kept me going more than anything else. I'm branching into #Linux and getting more familiar with #FOSS. I am a #blogger and I have linked my blog in my bio.

@CathyBikesBook hello and welcome!

(I was going to recommend verifying your profile, but I see that something went wrong on the blog. I don't know what happened (double paste maybe?) but currently it reads like this:

<a rel="&lt;a rel=&quot;me&quot; href=&quot;https://mastodon.social/@CathyBikesBook&quot;&gt;Mastodon&lt;/a&gt;" href="https://a%20rel=me%20href=https://mstdn.plus/@CathyBikesBookMastodon/a" class="wp-block-social-link-anchor">...

but it should be

<a rel="me" href="https://mstdn.plus/@CathyBikesBookMastodon" class="wp-block-social-link-anchor">...
)

@oblomov yeah i don't know how to get it to work.

@CathyBikesBook how is the link added/defined? Is there some kind of configuration dialog in your blogging platform, or are you adding it manually to the page template?

@oblomov adding it through the social media widget

@CathyBikesBook can you maybe screenshot this widget configuration page? I have no idea how it looks, but maybe from the screenshot I can see why it's messing things up.

@oblomov i'm on a laptop right now

@CathyBikesBook OK, I suspect that field should just be the actual link to your profile https://mstdn.plus/@CathyBikesBook and then there should be a way to set the link properties/attributes (maybe as Advanced options?) where you can specify "me" as the value for the rel attribute (might be called "link rel" under the Advanced menu)

@CathyBikesBook Welcome to the Fedi, a really friendly group of people. Just sorry you have an asshole for President.
