The social networks section was a fixed list of 11 entries. Adds four more: Bluesky and Mastodon as social profiles, Blog and RSS as content links, which is the most requested gap from users. New keys are appended to BIOLINKS_SOCIAL_KEYS so existing instances keep their current icon order untouched. Also drops BIOLINKS_SOCIAL_DOMAINS, an unused domain-to-key map left over from the removed link icon auto detection.
The admin capture still showed 10 fields: it had been stale since 1.1.7 added WhatsApp, and the four new entries widen the gap further. Regenerated at the same format as the other captures (1063px wide, 18px margin). screenshot-2.png is the WordPress.org copy of the same image and is kept in sync. The SVN assets directory needs the same file at release time. Adds a capture of the icons as rendered on the public page.

Follow-up to a user suggestion received on LinkedIn: add a blog option to the social media section.
The section was a fixed list of 11 entries. This adds four, taking the opportunity to close the gaps while touching the file: Bluesky and Mastodon as social profiles, Blog and RSS as content links.
Admin
The
Social networkssection goes from 11 to 15 fields. The new entries are appended after WhatsApp.Public page
Left to right: Instagram, YouTube, Bluesky, Mastodon, Blog, RSS. The RSS and Blog glyphs reuse the plugin's existing Feather-like style. Mastodon is a hand-simplified rounded shield with the
m. Bluesky is the official butterfly rescaled to the 24x24 box, since a hand-drawn approximation read as a bow tie at small sizes. All of them stay within thewp_kseswhitelist used by the template (pathandcircleonly).Ordering
New keys are appended to
BIOLINKS_SOCIAL_KEYS, never inserted. The front end renders in the JSON insertion order, which follows that constant, so existing installs keep their current icon order after the update.Housekeeping
