Hi Craig-
Could we please change the default image on all blog posts that don't have an image to something other than a pic of cbeard?
Can anyone with nominal wordpress knowledge do that? Or does it need to be someone like you with advanced wordpress knowledge?
Thx,
Jen

Hi Justin-
Please provide a new default image (or tell us where the image you want already exists).
Should it just be the Mozilla wordmark?
Thx,
Jen

If there's no other image it uses the author's avatar. I can instead make it use no image at all, if that's preferable.

Fixed with commit https://github.com/mozilla/One-Mozilla-blog/commit/60d635927e03e76457ea8695f083ddcd446fae76
Posts with attached images will still get og:image metadata. Otherwise there is no og:image.

Please use the standard Mozilla wordmark in charcoal black from this p;age
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/styleguide/identity/mozilla/branding/
Also do I understand from the above that if your post has its own image, that is what will feature? If it doesn't then the wordmark will appear?

Correct, if the post includes any images or has a featured image, those images will appear as choices for sharing, along with the wordmark. If there are no other images it still falls back to the wordmark.

Wonderful thanks, let us know when the change is made so we can let CBeard know.

This is in production now. Facebook, Twitter, etc cache these images themselves so we can't force an updated image into links that were already posted in the wild, but folks sharing links from now on will get the new metadata.

Craig- Just flagging I said the same to Cbeard and he mentioned that his thumbnail shows up as only/default image even when there are other images in post, which is why he asked us to dig into it.
Justin- if this was the case though, we could have fixed it by making sure to always have an image in a post (this time Katharina's headshot)

Until recently the theme only added a featured image (also called a post thumbnail) as metadata for sharing and didn't include other image attachments from the post. As of last week, any post with any images will include all attached images (not just a featured image) as metadata. The author image was also included, but as of today the author image is no longer in the list and we've added the Mozilla wordmark as a default. We'll start to see these changes take effect with future posts.
So this behavior did change last week, but it was after the Katharina post was already out and had been shared with Chris' author image attached, thus the weirdness of a post announcing Katharina joining Mozilla, but with a nice big picture of someone else attached to it. Sorry for that. Trying to re-share the same link would just get the same image Facebook had already stored on their end for that particular post, but I've now told Facebook to re-scrape that URL and hopefully that will update their cache.
Older posts will remain cached but I'll go through the last few and re-scrape them as well, at least for the main blog (these updates apply to every blog using the One Mozilla theme). Also, if you want to add Katharina's picture to her announcement post we can re-scrape it again.
