Add a social image to represent your brand
OK, what is a social image you ask?
A Social Share Image is an image that is displayed when site visitors share your website on social media, in text messaging, and sometimes in emails and other correspondence.
This is not a mandatory add, but it adds appeal and interest when shared. It may also help relay the vibe of your site, adding interest.
There are two types of social sharing images:
Social sharing logo - Represents your whole site.
Alternate Social Sharing Image - Represents individual pages or collection items, like blog posts, products, events, and portfolio sub-pages. Not currently available for gallery images or album tracks.
