Favicon Fiasco

I’m so excited!!! I have a blog!

Let me share it … let me post it on Teams (Microsoft Teams) to my work colleagues …

… lovely, except the little picture image isn’t the one I thought I setup.

It must be a faviocon thing, maybe an interaction with the way github pages works. Lot’s of googling later investigating all of githubpages, hugo, hugo themes, favicons and NOTHING 😰

Then I posted on twitter and had the same result, at this point not unexpected but it did make me think and I started googling how twitter generates previews from favicon … it DOESN’T!

🔆

favicon is oldskool. The Open Graph protocol is what one needs.

Code added.

All fixed.
