(Side note to WordPress) Dear WP: Why not pull the preview image for the page as though the page was going to be embedded?
(Explanation to real people) Dear RP: When I pasted in the link to YouTube’s blog page above, WordPress’ editor tried to prepare an embedded version for a resource on the page, but it couldn’t do it because there’s no embeddable media on the page, it thinks:
If this had been a YouTube video page, then the video in a frame would be offered up for you to see here. Here’s a YouTube video from the page I linked above, embedded here below:
Image Meta
Since there are usually meta for preview images on a page, why not embed those?
Here is what the source of the page I linked above on YouTube’s blog looks like:
The image URL referenced is https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod/images/yt_trends_hero_illustration-01.2e16d0ba.fill-1440×810.jpg
Right now, that image looks like this and I’ll add the link URL to the caption below it, making a preview, sorta.
I fixed the above so the image can be clicked to go to the other page. Big whoop. It’s at least a preview of what they’ll find there.
To make the image clickable in addition to the link in the image caption, I had to edit the block’s HTML source:
I’m just suggesting.
