@FediTips It was there, you may have missed it because the HTML was minified so the whole page is one line. I've now turned off the minify step in my site generation workflow.
Frankly, this isn't really important enough to take up much more of my time, some people see the link as verified and some (like me) don't.
So I've read the @FediTips post about verification, and done the things. All links to my profile have rel="me" and I have the <link> tag in the <head>. I suspect the link to my site isn't turning green because the site theme I use has class= and target= attributes in the footer link to my Mastodon link.
Is this a bug? It's not like I want to remove the Mastodon link from the footer of my site, and I can't change the fact that it needs the class= attribute to fit in the theme of the site.
