SEO Upgrades Incoming

I've spent some time on writing these blogs now and officially have more than 1 page of blog posts!

I've also noticed that it automatically recommends posts to users under the comment section.

Honestly, this is great!

It allows me to focus on writing blog posts and less on implementing a "recommended posts" system.

This gave me the idea to look into more service providers, so I may incorporate more.

Let me know what you think, I am undecided there.

But, there's a problem...

---

At the moment, all of my posts have the same thumbnail and the same description!

The reason for this is because when I wrote the header code for my website, I hard-coded values into the  section.

Specifically, I hard-coded the tags.

If you're familiar with web development & HTML, you are aware of the  section of most web pages.

For those who are not, this is the section where you detail information about the web page. This typically includes stuff like:

• Page title
• Javascript code to run
• Style code to apply
• Image, Audio, Video assets to load
• meta data

The meta tags store information about the page you're visiting.

On the modern web, we take advantage of OpenGraph to allow services to thumbnail our web pages on their platforms.

Whenever you share a link to one of my web pages on Facebook (for example), Facebook queries my website, reads the tags and generates the thumbnail using that data.

This is why you see youtube thumbnails automatically appear when you share their links on Facebook and Discord. 

The beauty of OpenGraph and HTML Meta tags.

Let me know if you guys have any questions!

Also, I'll fix that isssue Soon™

Thanks!
