It really sucks when you’re just published an awesome article or when you’ve stumbled upon a really cool site, and when you start to share it with your friends (starting with Facebook where most of us now live our lives), truth hits you in the face: WHY IS THERE NO THUMBNAIL?!

Thank you for sharing!
Really happy to know that this post was helpful for you and your friend! I love hacks and solving problems, so will definitely be posting more articles under the #lifehacks section soon. Thanks for passing this along! 🙂
