Social Media Share Images

📱 Social Media Share Images

When you share a post on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, or LinkedIn, those platforms will now display a preview image instead of your avatar.

How It Works

The theme uses Open Graph meta tags to tell social media platforms which image to display when a link is shared.

Setup Steps

1. Create a Default Share Image

Create a default image that will be used for all posts:

assets/
└── images/
    └── share-default.jpg    ← Create this file

Recommended Size: 1200 x 630 pixels

Tips:

• Use a branded image with your site name or logo
• Keep text minimal and readable at small sizes
• Use high contrast for better visibility

2. Optional: Custom Image Per Post

You can specify a different share image for individual posts by adding an image field in the front matter:

---
layout: post
title: "My Status Update"
date: 2024-01-15 14:30:00 -0500
image: /assets/images/custom-share.jpg
