✨ This is an enhancement or feature that builds on the microformat contributions by @dltj in #3052.
Adding
rel="me"
to footer links enables web sign-in or RelMeAuth, so you can use your domain to sign in to other sites.In #3052, the
rel="me"
attributes were added to the author profile, but that only appears in post sidebars, and web sign-in requires these profile links to be present on the home page.Adding this to the footer links ensures that these values are correctly detected by systems that check for the presence of bidirectional links between the author's home page and other profiles.
