Mastodon allows you to verify yourself as the owner of your website. If your website is well-known, then this will in effect verify your identity as well.
Here's how to verify you are the owner of a website:

If the green verified link method doesn't work for you, here are a number of methods for fixing it:

Mine still doesn't work, but it's nice to have that debugging tool, at least. Thanks to that, I know that it's not "seeing" the link for some reason, and now I just need to figure out why.
...Or just live without the little check mark, I suppose. Lol
I think the issue on your site is you have your Mastodon link on your About Me page (https://www.k3can.us/about-me) but your Mastodon profile's link is to your website's front page (https://www.k3can.us).
For the profile link to turn green, your Mastodon link has to be on the same page as the link on your profile. If you change your Mastodon profile's link to https://www.k3can.us/about-me it should turn green.
Thanks. I'm not sure I'm following, though. The initial page *is* the about me section. In other words, / and /about-me should both display the same page. I can try changing the link to specifically include the /about-me, through, and just see if it helps.
The second site (retro.k3can) uses frames, which occurred to me yesterday night be the issue on that one. I might need to embed the link in the index, and not in the main page displayed in the frame.
Yeah, the frames might be messing things up...
This feature works ideally with a standard single page I guess?
