 * I am trying to create a thumbnail for several of my links but it does not seem
   to work.
 * I added a link to the image but a thumbnail of the page is created instead.
 * I tried Automatic Image generation and it creates a thumbnail of the page, not
   the image.
 * I tried Image Upload. I uploaded a picture. However, when I select the image 
   it becomes larger than the page. It is still not displayed as the thumbnail for
   the link.
 * What am I missing?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Flink-image-9%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi Joe, The thumbnail generation feature is intended to generate a thumbnail 
   of the web page specified by the link URL, not to reduce the size of the image
   assigned to the link.
 * I am unable to see the link you provided since the site is currently under construction.
 * Normally, you would assign images to links at the size that you want them to 
   appear on your site.
