Website: social media preview not rendering

The social media preview for web3.storage is not rendering.

Thanks for the repot. Looks like the full route for the og image is not getting insert. We'll get that fixed.

@e-schneid the issue persists on for blog links. Is this something that can be fixed?

Here is an example of not working

It's now in PR to fix this on the blog.

@JeffLowe, @e-schneid, @jchris - the preview is still not consistently showing for the web3.storage blog when I share via Twitter.

@meghansinnott I've done some testing on this and it appears that on the home blog url the preview only works if you add a trailing slash. I've confirmed that the twitter card meta tags are all present and correct and we aren't missing any optional settings that would help rectify this issue but at least we have a solution on how to fix.

@cmunns - Sorry to report that the trailing hash hack isn't working.

@meghansinnott the social share on this post https://blog.web3.storage/posts/w3up-for-ipfs-users is now fixed. In this instance, it has nothing to do with the trailing / and everything to do with how the featured image is uploaded and included in the post during authoring. I'm documenting the issue and the needed fix in a separate ticket. Know if you encounter this issue again, a quick fix is to ask the author of the post to upload the featured image and resave & republish the post. This is the short term fix until we resolve the image upload issue for the long term.
