    "social media marketing best practices project" leads here http://www.twistimage.com/blog/ not best practices related?

    Thanks for spotting that Kimberley, the link should be - http://www.twistimage.com/blog/archives/the-bes... - I've fixed it now.

    You're welcome. :-)

    Give me some time, as I'm behind in many things as it is, and I'll be more than happy to oblige the tag oh great friend of mine.

    We'll be watching ;-)

    I'm not only on Pause but on the road and unlikely to contribute...too many other distractions at present I'm afraid and I prefer not to rush, but to pause and contemplate. So..maybe I'll return to tag later...likely not

    Okay, no problem Tony, I added you cos I know you'd write a great contribution and it would come from a very different direction to those nominally in the SM marketing area per se.

    Being nice is SO important. That's why I wrote about reflect and used the example of one time that I didn't think about the meaning behind someone's words and ended up not being nice at all. Ultimately, it took up more of my time being annoyed and frustrated then it would have been to simply be nice in the first place.

    Thanks for dropping by Kim. I've subscribed to your blog, particularly interested in adding thumbnails to my archive excerpts on various sites...

    ...do you know how to add thumbnails to "Related Posts"?
  • Kim Woodbridge · 1 year ago
    Hi,

    Thanks for subscribing!

    I haven't located a plugin or simple solution to this. I'm not familiar with your WordPress skill level but this could be done by adding thumbnails to custom fields and then adding the code for the thumbnail to the recent posts loop. I located a tutorial here - http://www.tutorial9.net/web-tutorials/add-thum...

    Now I'm intrigued - I'm going to have to try it out and then write about it.

    Hah! I was just reading that very page and saw a link to a paid plugin. I noticed that several of the bigger sites embed dynamic thumbnails in their Related Posts and footer sections, so it's obviously possible. I guess it wouldn't be too hard to hack the RP plugin to grab the top graphic and thumbnail it...
