@mzlaylaw FYI, if you want to verify your website here, the <a rel="me"... stuff you put in your profile actually needs to go *on* your website and point back to your Mastodon profile. That proves that you control the website. My guess is that you could add a Mastodon logo at the bottom (with the Instagram etc. logos) that has the rel="me" stuff, though I'm not 100% sure.
Then your profile should simply point to the website.
@mzlaylaw Re: verifying the website link in your profile...
Yes, your website includes this (for Instagram):
<a class="icon icon--fill header-icon header-icon-border-shape-none header-icon-border-style-outline" href="https://www.instagram.com/elizabethlaidlaw/" target="_blank" aria-label="">
I'm almost sure that if you added a similar icon for Mastodon, with the rel="me" attribute, and href="https://mindly.social/@mzlaylaw", your website would be verified.
