How are my thumbnails?
3 years ago
Hey, just wanted an opinion. You guys most likely noticed that my stories have thumbnails now. That's to make them more appealing and encourage people to click on them. The thumbnails I make for my stories simply have the title of the story, but thumbnails of similar stories have keywords to let you know what the story has. I been thinking that I wish I thought of that since the posts already show the title and the thumbnail limits how long I can make the title. As much as I would want my thumbnails to have keywords, I feel like doing them for new stories might be a little jarring, and I can't really replace the old thumbnails without deleting and re-uploading the previous posts.
So I want to ask, should I put keywords into my thumbnails from now on? Should I delete and re-upload my old stories with the new style of thumbnails, or are they fine the way they are? Or am I putting too much thought into these thumbnails and they're fine the way they are?
I've seen that my journals (or even my posts) don't get a lot of comments, but please, feedback would be deeply appreciated. I want to have discussions with more than one person, and knowing if you guys would like this change would be very helpful. It would take me a little while to re-upload all the previous stories, but I'd be willing to do it.
So please, leave a comment on your opinion on my thumbnails, it would greatly appreciated.

There's really nothing wrong with your new thumbnails being slightly different from the old ones. If anything, it shows your style is evolving.

Thanks man. Maybe I'll use keywords in my thumbnails from now on. I just wish I can update the thumbnails on my older stories to have some consistency. I can update the old thumbnails, but doing so shrinks them. If I want the updated thumbnails to be bigger I would have to delete and re-upload the post. So annoying.
