just replace USERNAME with your twitter username
and the most important thing, you MUST upload all images for posts to Picasa/Blogger server, dont hotlinking from another server (i.e : imageshack, flickr, tinypic) because it will ruin thumbnail post on your blog.

For Youtube Thumbnail on Post :


Note: This will only work with Youtube.

To do this via Blogger; template > Edit HTML and ‘expand the widgets’.

Find the below:

function snips_image_creator(image_url,post_title)
{
var image_size=400;
var show_default_thumbnail=true;
var default_thumbnail=”https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizbkU1GIgMkuB3qjKOQtkkd78CzmuQx3fvxIkWQwsilVtZP539fVMHqdrd-K-cZ6Uw5wFvxW3HhSj-ltA0CCIvyJPJFBR8Dk6i_rxJyKxeeurIcC45TNhpQ8vWHAlgYVnztEs5W3a7JXM/s72-c/default.png”;
if(show_default_thumbnail == true && image_url == “”) image_url= default_thumbnail;
image_tag=”;
if(image_url!=”") return image_tag; else return “”;
}

..and replace with:

function snips(image_url, post_title) {
var image_size = 600;
var show_default_thumbnail = true;
var default_thumbnail = “https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizbkU1GIgMkuB3qjKOQtkkd78CzmuQx3fvxIkWQwsilVtZP539fVMHqdrd-K-cZ6Uw5wFvxW3HhSj-ltA0CCIvyJPJFBR8Dk6i_rxJyKxeeurIcC45TNhpQ8vWHAlgYVnztEs5W3a7JXM/s72-c/default.png”;
if (show_default_thumbnail == true && image_url == “”)
image_url = default_thumbnail;
image_tag = ”;
yimage_tag = ”;
if (image_url.indexOf(“img.youtube.com”)!= -1){
return yimage_tag;
}
else if (image_url != “”)
{
return image_tag;
}
else
return “”;}

When creating a new post in your blog with a Youtube video, choose the ‘embed’ option and cut & paste the code from Youtube such as the below; the amended code in your blog will then pick up the video thumbnail and show it on your homepage just like the image thumbnails:

All respect to Iksandi for creating this great template, but adding this option would have saved a lot of hassle.
