✨ Enhancement: Linking LinkedIn Profile of Author in Blogs

[cbum-dev]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Currently, blog authors are not linked to their LinkedIn profiles. This means users cannot easily navigate to an author's LinkedIn profile for more information about them, their background, or other professional content they may have shared.

Describe the solution you'd like

Clicking on an author's name in a blog post should redirect users to their LinkedIn profile if a LinkedIn link is available. This can be achieved by adding a field for the author's LinkedIn URL in the blog metadata and updating the frontend to link the author’s name accordingly.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Providing an "About the Author" section at the end of the blog with social media links.

Hey @cbum-dev
Abhishek this side,

I wanted to work on adding LinkedIn profile links for blog authors, and here's the plan:

Add an optional LinkedIn field to the blog metadata.
Update the template to link author names to their LinkedIn URLs when available.
Include some lightweight styling for clarity.

Before submitting a PR, I wanted to check if there are any existing patterns for social links that I should follow? Also, would you prefer the LinkedIn field to be formatted a specific way (e.g., nested under socials)?

please let me work on this as this is going to be my first contribution to the open source
Thanks!

This proposal is still in triage phase. So wait for acceptance.
