Description
I'm not sure what they changed, but it used to work. LinkedIn used to be able to show a preview of the blog post with the proper image, now it only pulls the author image.
If you want to check an example, you can do so here: https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/inspect/
And paste any article to test: https://godotengine.org/article/introducing-the-improved-ufbx-importer-in-godot-4-3/
I've tried modifying the meta properties at the `` of the default layout but had no luck.
In my tests I did:
1. ``
2. ``
3. ``
But it is still unresolved. If anyone knows how to make the changes feel free to comment here or send a PR. Thanks!

Research direction
Inspect the default layout's metadata and compare the rendered tags for the example article with LinkedIn's Post Inspector. Verify which image LinkedIn selects, then update the relevant metadata so the article preview uses its share image and confirm the result with the inspector.
