OK, Now Dennis, when you post a story you should have the same subject in the Thumbnail as in the main Photo.


Take the cute little doggy in my thumbnail that I shot on the beach this past weekend. Now if you look at my Popup you will see that same cute Doggy.


Also notice how I have used a soft focus on the Doggy, my main subject, but how crisp my Background is. I believe the background in any photo should be as important as the Main Subject.

Also notice the cool Collar the doggy has. Man that Doggy has Style!
Here is what that Doggy was actually saying Woof
I hope you learn something from this.

    Haha.  When I first implemented the thumbnails for stories, I had no clue how they were used.  In fact, several people didn't like them cause they felt it spoiled the suspense.

    I quite like how they are getting used.  It still the mystery all nice and packaged into little links...

    Wait.  I look at your thumbnail, and there's a dog.  But then I opened up the photo and I saw no dog.
