How can I make some image appear on my Social (Twitter) post?

All,
I can make a post to Twitter, but once the post appears, only the Title and Description are shown, not the main image. Is there a setting I have missed to make the main image appear? I use Photoblogger witrh a grayscale image in the header along with the Title and Description.
Thanks!
Scott

Since these social networking sites change their interface frequently, I need to modify my code from time to time. It seems Twitter / X has made changes in the past year. I'll check.

Yes, they have. It's turned into a hate-filled fever swamp.

Maybe it's time to drop support for it entirely.

Attention to this is greatly appreciated. I still use it to diseminate my photography.

I have just checked, and it seems the Twitter card appears with no image at first, but then Twitter manages to import the image and shows it within a few minutes. I see there's a better method with a larger image. I will add this feature in the coming release. See attachment!

If the post still has no image, you might want to run it through the validator: https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator
