Blog2020 ≫ Oh good my twitter card image preview worked

Compare this self promoting tweet with this other self promoting tweet 1, one of them has the image in and the other doesn't. You really do need all this:

<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary">
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@pauly">

<meta name="twitter:image" content="http://www.clarkeology.com/img/2020/05/_bw-2020-05-06-popex-got-graphs-Screenshot-2020-05-06-at-22.25.16.png">

I might try it without the description next, as it's idential to the meta description:

<meta name="Description" content="Couple of important steps for popex today. I have twenty automated traders buying + selling all day and it&#39;s not broken something. I have graphs of the price changes these traders are affecting! I k…" />

and I don't like have any unneccessary weight in the page.

  1. Removed old twitter.com/pauly/status/1257714450049708032 link here.
