A quick example of how to start using Thumbnails in your articles.
If your average directory for an article looks like this:
```shell
content
└── awesome_article.md
```
You need to change it from a single markdown file into a folder. Create a directory with the same name of the article, inside create a `index.md` file. You'll get a structure similar to what's below.
```shell
content
└── awesome_article
└── featured.png
```
Inside the article you can now add an image file (almost all formats are supported but we recommend `.png` or `.jpg`) that starts with `feature*`. Example below.
```shell
content
└── awesome_article
├── index.md
└── featured.png
```
This will tell Blowfish that this article has a feature image that can be used both as a thumbnail across your website as well as for <a target="_blank" href="https://oembed.com/">oEmbed</a> cards across social platforms. As an example, you can try copy pasting the URL of this article into a platform that shows oEmbeds (e.g. Twitter, WhatsApp, Telegram, etc) and see what is displayed.
