add mastodon verification support

[benasse]

It is possible to add the mastodon profile verification like this:

You can verify yourself as the owner of the links in your profile metadata. For that, the linked website must contain a link back to your Mastodon profile. The link back must have a rel="me" attribute. The text content of the link

I added it like this, and it works: ./themes/academic/layouts/partials/widgets/about.html line 52 {{ $target = "target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener"" }} line 52 {{ $target = "target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener me\"" }}

I share the change if you want to integrate it upstream

Thanks for sharing, it might be worth posting on the forums too.

Is it possible to code it properly in the theme? I would rather keep the local branch in sync with your master.

Based on this issue: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/10345

I added <link rel="me" href="https://mastodon.online/@systempk" /> in my site's layouts/partials/custom_head.html. This partial is included in themes/academic/layouts/partials/site_head.html. This way, upstream changes to layouts/partials/widgets/about.html are not missed.

Edit: see the docs here, the custom_head.html is for Wowchemy <5.6 only. https://wowchemy.com/docs/hugo-tutorials/extending-wowchemy/#custom-head

Can confirm the solution above works nicely

works well indeed. a minor downside might be that this link will now be part of the header of all pages (whereas a single link on the main page would be enough)
