Thanks to @thatguygriff for sharing a Micro.blog plug-in that adds Open Graph tags to your blog, to allow previews on various social media platforms and iMessage. You can install it under the Plug-ins tab → Find Plug-ins.

@manton not sure what it is or does but I am glad it exists 😁

@Gabz When you share a link, it'll include a rich preview rather than just the plain URL.

@manton Hey, that’s excellent. It really makes a difference in how your content looks on social media.

@manton Trying this one... Thank you.

@simonwoods Gotcha !! Thank you!

@manton I don't see any changes after installing the plug-in. Maybe because I'm using a custom theme based on Archie.

@paulopinto Probably so. If you have a theme that changed any of the default templates before we added plug-ins, those older templates probably don't have the right markup. I'll try to work on some documentation for updating older themes.

@manton I was just starting to figure out how to add support for this. Great timing for this plugin.

@manton Is there an example of what this looks like?

@thatguygriff thanks! Much appreciated

@thatguygriff This is great! That instantly makes sense to me. Thank you so much for the examples (and double thanks for developing the plugin in the first place!)

@simonwoods oh KOOL Thankyou

I was with @gabz until that moment

Thankyou @thatguygriff - will install later - I link a lot!

@JohnPhilpin I'm back 😎

@JohnPhilpin 🍻

@thatguygriff just been looking at the github doc - still not working for me … I am using Marfa- but customized - although pretty sure noting actually is !! seeing @manton saying that there needs to be some jiggery pokery for customized templates that I need to do to make it work on custom themes - decided it is time to stop putzing for now :-)

looking forward to seeing it in action
