Post featured image size in the Reader
-
In the Reader my posts show only as the featured image, and I have to click through to see the text of the post.
For many other sites only a thumbnail of the featured image is shown together with the start of the text of the post. How do I get my site’s posts to show like this? -
Hi there!
Could you send us a link to the post where you only see the featured image in the Reader?
You can see here how different types of posts would be displayed: -
Thank you – the link you provided explains my problem: it’s because my posts are haikus and are usually less than 100 characters!
Is there any way of tricking the Reader to think I have more than 100 characters – and so making it use the standard card – without me adding 50+ random characters to my posts? ;-)

I’d recommend adding a consistent tag, like “Thanks for reading, and be sure to subscribe for more!”

Yes, I could do that but I’m reluctant to “clutter” all my posts in the blog. I’d prefer to keep just the image and the haiku for each post. It’s a pity there isn’t some kind of html/css tag could use to tell the Reader which layout to use. I guess I may just have to live with the reader view only showing the photo. At least I understand why now! Thanks anyway.

In case it’s of use to anyone else: adding hidden text such as the below allowed me to keep my blog posts clean whilst also making the Reader act as though I have more characters in each post.
<div class=”hidden”>
I am still learning
to forget what I was made
to be who I amI chose to forget
but you whisper inside me
and who chooses dreams?
</div>
