You can add thumbnail images to your posts in two steps. First, make sure the thumbnail is enabled in the theme's configuration file:
{% codeblock _config.yml lang:yaml %} article: thumbnail: true {% endcodeblock %}
Then, provide an URL or path to the image file in the front-matter of your post:
{% codeblock post.md lang:yaml %} title: Getting Started with Icarus thumbnail: /gallery/thumbnails/desert.jpg
Post content... {% endcodeblock %}
About thumbnail image path
The image path you put in the front-matter needs to be the relative path to the source directory of your website. For example, if you want to use the following image as a thumbnail:
<your blog>/source/gallery/image.jpg
You need to use the following as the image path:
/gallery/image.jpg
Also, it is recommended that you put all the images under a dedicated asset folder that is separated from the _posts folder.
