Afaik just adding a favicon.png would be enough, see this article infos and for common question:

https://github.com/audreyr/favicon-cheat-sheet

there are many such generators out there, e.g. this.

@CyberShadow I guess we could also add this to dlang.org?

http://dlang.org/favicon.ico already exists.

Afaik websites like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, ... require a favicon.png in the HTML to display an logo on links?

CyberShadow commented 8 years ago

dlang.org also has <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">.

I think we're doing all the right things. Please make sure that they're not picking it up because of something we need to do.

This has nothing to do with the favicon or anything outside of the specific blog posts. See the section 'Images in Publicize'.

I suppose what I can do is see about getting a default image for each post if there are none in the post itself. I'll look into it.

Oh sorry - yeah it seems like all these website have special meta formats.

@CyberShadow a favicon.png is useful anyways as it has a higher resolution and most browser can use it (e.g. bookmarks, tiles, Android home shortcuts ...). See the cheatsheet for a list of resolutions required by specific devices:

To be honest, that page makes me want to barf. Ten thousand formats for each individual browser. Fuck that.

I finally looked into this. I've just configured WP with a default featured image (a.k.a thumbnail). From now on, if a post has no embedded images, or I forget to insert one before I publish it (as I did with the Visual D post, so that it went to Twitter/FB without an image, which is what I wanted to avoid int he first place!), then the default will be used when it's sent out to Twitter/FB. And, I suppose, anywhere else people may share it.
