Does anyone have any experience adding Twitter cards to their websites? I am trying to ad it to my site so that when I tweet a link from my blog, a thumbnail appears.
I am not quite sure WHAT to implement WHERE.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you everyone

Meta tags for Twitter cards and open graph (Facebook) would go into the head section on your page.
You can type them by hand and paste them here:
Or you could use RapidWeaver meta tags page and type them by hand:
Once you have them published you can test them here:

Doug thank you! My next question is, do I put the just the code below in the header section? Is there any other code I need to input?
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary" />
Again, thank you!
pasting in the head section should work. Not sure but I think you might need the following - this is from the bottom of the twitter page you referenced above. Change the @tag to appropriate twitter ids.
There are other twitter meta tags you can use if you look at the bottom of the page they also use open graph.
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@nytimesbits" />
<meta name="twitter:creator" content="@nickbilton" />
I really haven’t kept up, so I would try some and use that tester. I do know that placing meta tags in the head section works, don’t know that much about all the meta tags twitter supports.
Doug, thank you very much. I will try this and let you know how it goes.
I cut and paste this code into my site:
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary" />
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@nytimesbits" />
<meta name="twitter:creator" content="@nickbilton" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/12/08/a-twitter-for-my-sister/" />
<meta property="og:title" content="A Twitter for My Sister" />
<meta property="og:description" content="In the early days, Twitter grew so quickly that it was almost impossible to add new features because engineers spent their time trying to keep the rocket ship from stalling." />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2011/12/08/technology/bits-newtwitter/bits-newtwitter-tmagArticle.jpg" />
Then I just changed the information to match my website. Again, thank you very much!!
