🍿 Finished watching: The Wild Robot. Great movie. Hadn’t heard of it but totally exceeded my expectations.

@kaa Thanks, will check it out. By the way how do you get the small picture of the cover next to your post instead of having a huge image above or below it?

@dmejia So that’s a Micro.blog feature. Works for your timeline and also on your site…however for some reason the site thumbnail works for books but didn’t pick this post up (not sure if that is still be enabled for movies?) @manton

@kaa thank you for the response. Asking because I have posted about both books and movies and neither one shows a small thumbnail. Wondering if I am doing something wrong 🤔

@dmejia So if this was a while back you’ll need to rebuild your site and it should come up - only works for new stuff you post.

@dmejia @kaa I think there are a couple things going on here. First, it only includes the cover thumbnail automatically if the blog post doesn’t already have its own image. I didn’t want it to add any redundant images if someone posted a photo of a real book, for example. Second, I think there’s an issue where we don’t always recognize The Movie DB URLs for blog posts, because the feature started with Letterboxd. I’ll fix that.

@manton Thank you. Yes, I inserted an image in the original post, so that is on me. Will try another post later with no images.
