More work on the blog to Bluesky API integration.

As I understand it, a 'link card' will take priority over an image so you can't have both, but you can include an image with that card.

This is, therefore a test to see if marking an image as featured (I give it the class 'feat') will have it be correctly identified, uploaded and attached to the link card for this post.

If a post is less than 275 characters I should also not be generating a link card but just sending the full text of the post adding an image if applicable.

This is a longer post (apologies for the testing) that should be in excess of 275 characters. There will be no featured image so the link card should just be the link.

This serves as a test to see if the API will accept a link card with an empty value for 'thumb' — if not I will need to put in a bit of logic.

Like some people like fruitcake, too | yours, tiramisu...

Don't fret about originality, concentrate on being yourself!

Just realised I wasn't sending the full link for posts to Bluesky, only the date. This should now be resolved. 😉
