How to Fix That Pesky Steemit/Dtube Thumbnail Issue
Over the last few weeks I've noticed that the Dtube thumbnails on Steemit have been extremely small and knew I had to find a way to fix it. In today's video I'll show you a workaround to fix your thumbnail size issues. It only takes a few seconds with each post to make your Steemit blog look much more pleasing to the eye.

@brandonfrye watching the video now. Thanks for your consistency. You haven't posted a video yet that did not educate or help the Steemit community. Your work here is appreciated. Also, regarding removing myself from other social media platforms. I am on them, but there is little to nothing to gain from them. Most people are kind of about themselves and the ads are ridiculous. It's much better to be here on Steemit where we can actually engage and get paid, instead of in a sense paying others to be on their social media platform.
Yessir! Simple fix and makes your feed look a lot more pleasing to the eye. I hear you about that. Took me a while to find a good mix for my images but I'm like you I need things to look...Similar...So it helps viewers / readers become familiar with your brand.
And when the image is tiny for your videos but normal size for the blog posts....Something just bugs me lol
Great tips though man, keep them coming!
Definitely. Just had a chance to watch the vlog. I have been on a similar journey as you with the other social media channels. I post to Instagram/FB stories because it's "temporary," but last year I took a few multi-month breaks from Facebook and Twitter. It was wonderful. What I realized is that I can't completely take myself off of those platforms, though, because there's a lot of people that I care about still on them (hopefully one day they'll all be on Steem). And so my way to deal with that and fight against the addiction is to use app blockers on my phone, and use the Newsfeed Eradicator Chrome Extension for Facebook. I can handle Facebook without the Newsfeed. That's one of the worst things about that platform.
I am in the process of talking to the friends on facebook. It's two parts. 1. I encourage them to come try Steemit. 2. I explain that I am withdrawing from FB. I get so I'm just pissed when I go there.
I still have cable TV but I probably pay more than most per hour of programming watched. Almost exclusively live sports and maybe the TV is on 5 hours per week, Most days I don't turn it on,
Thanks for another great 'how to' solve a problem here. Keep them coming!
Please take this as constructive criticism.
While I appreciate the help you provide in this video, based on your title, I was expecting you to get straight to the point without the 6 minutes of filler at the beginning. Maybe make a separate video for the Facebook and cable TV talk.
Nevertheless, thanks for the tutorial. I will give it a try.
That's just straight up HTML. That being said, you should be able to edit the parameters for the image size as a percentage, or by pixel size.
Example: src="https://example.com/image.png" width="125%" height="125%">
Example: src="https://example.com/image.png" width="600px" height="600px"
This may or may not work depending on parameters set in CSS. This way you could tweak the size of the image to exactly what you wanted it. Percentages give you the most control, but pixel based dimensions are good too.
I used to be a web designer, so I understand this stuff. Will have to test it out myself. I'm new here, so haven't done any videos yet though
Thanks for taking the time to put this together! I ran into an issue with the rendering of our first video, but after watching this and doing what you instructed, it fixed it. So, thanks again man, much appreciated👍
