thumbnail images on search engine results
-
Hi awesome wordpress team, I have a question. When I search for something on say.. google, some of the results listed contain a thumbnail image right next to the URL. For example, I would like to post about chicken noodle soup, and have one of the photos (the first photo of the post would be great) I took to appear as a little thumbnail image in a search engine result. Is this what the “featured image” is all about?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there – There isn’t a way to control this for WordPress.com sites, because Google requires a certain meta tag to pull that image. You can connect your Google+ profile though, and then Google will sometimes display your author photo as a thumbnail:
