Issue Description

Request to add 5 outbound links in the project to https://www.recodehive.com/blog/google-icon-update to help boost the SEO ranking of the blog. Outbound links are hyperlinks that direct users to a different website (external to the current domain). Adding relevant outbound links to reputable external sources can improve a website’s SEO ranking by indicating authority and trustworthiness to search engines.

What is an Outbound Link?
An outbound link (also called an external link) is a link from your website to another website. For example: Visit Google Icon Update Blog.

How to add it (example):
In any blog post or relevant content file, insert an anchor tag as below:

<a href="https://www.recodehive.com/blog/google-icon-update" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Visit Google Icon Update Blog</a>

Or, in markdown files (like README.md):

[Visit Google Icon Update Blog](https://www.recodehive.com/blog/google-icon-update)

Please ensure to place 5 such outbound links in appropriate places within the project’s content.

Suggested Change

1. Search for suitable content files (blog posts, documentation, or markdown files) where an outbound link to https://www.recodehive.com/blog/google-icon-update can be naturally inserted.
2. Add the link using HTML or Markdown syntax as shown above.
3. Ensure 5 distinct outbound links are created at relevant places (not spammed together).
4. Make sure links open in a new tab and use rel="noopener noreferrer" when using HTML.
5. Submit a PR referencing this issue.

Rationale

Adding outbound links to this trusted blog post helps to strengthen SEO signals for our site, potentially improving rankings and increasing blog visibility to a larger audience. Outbound links also add value for readers and indicate subject expertise.
