docs: rewrite 'Configure your blog' to use GitHub profile social links

The **[Set Up Blog](../../actions/workflows/setup-blog.yml)** workflow saves your settings as [GitHub Actions repository Variables](../../settings/variables/actions) ([Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → Variables](../../settings/variables/actions)).
