Hello World. New Book Review.

I put book.jpg under mywebsite/static/images/ directory. But the post still using the default image.

Any suggestions?

I solved this issue by changing image = "book.jpg" to thumbnail = "images/book.jpg"

I followed the official guide from https://gohugo.io/overview/quickstart/ originally. It is very confusing.
