Making thumbnails

To ensure a new article appears correctly on the home page of the Canada.ca blog, you need to set up the thumbnail image that will accompany the link to the post.

How to setup thumbnails

1. Resize your thumbnail to 520 wide x 296 high* We're working to write something to auto-crop with Jekyll - Jennifer will resize for you if you don't have the tools.

2. Only accepted format at this time is .png

3. Name your thumbnail image based on the post's date you want it associated with in YYYY-MM-DD format. (ie. 2017-11-14.png)

   • French thumbnails get fr on the end: (ie. 2017-11-14fr.png)

4. Put the thumbnail image in the "thumbs" folder in this repository
