About this episode

This episode teaches how to implement web metadata for better social media sharing using OpenGraph HTML headers.

One of the things that helps your posts get traction is if you have a nice, pretty card that displays when you post the URL on social media. Plain blue links just don't get clicked. With WordPress and other dynamic Content Management Systems (CMSs), you can get plugins to create the pretty cards. But with Jekyll (and Hugo and other Static Site Generators), you need to build the capability into your theme. It's not hard, you just need to know what metadata to build, and of course, Bart is here to teach it to us. You can find Bart's fabulous tutorial shownotes and the audio podcast at pbs.bartificer.net .
