  My tweets still do not post a preview to my blog images. This began when I purchased the domain and has resulted in fewer postings from me because 98% of my audience is coming from twitter.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there – I’m afraid the images only work for .wordpress.com domains, because the photo cards are whitelisted (approved) by Twitter.

  Thanks for your help. Why did it work before I purchased the domain?

  Before you purchased the domain, your primary domain was a .wordpress.com domain – it works only for those.

  Apparently I needed to get “Twitter Cards” approved by Twitter Development for my website.

  Thanks for giving the the term “cards” to improve my search results.
