So you're using gistup to create gists (and blocks) from the command line. If not, see this tutorial for a quick overview.

And now you want to add thumbnails to your gists so that your blocks portfolio looks all pretty, right. How?

To have a thumbnail associated with your gist you need to create a 230x120 pixel PNG image file named thumbnail.png and include this at the top-level of your gist's repo (generated by gistup).

The main trick is in finding an appropriate image and then right-sizing it for the 230x120 dimensions that the blocks site expects your thumbnail.png to

OAUTH2

The Problem

I’m a web app that wants to allow other web apps access to my users’ information, but I want to ensure that the user says it’s ok.

The Solution

I can’t trust the other web apps, so I must interact with my users directly. I’ll let them know that the other app is trying to get their info, and ask whether they want to grant that permission. Oauth defines a way to initiate that permission verification from the other app’s site so that the user experience is smooth. If the user grants permission, I issue an AuthToken to the other app which it can use to make requests for that user's info.

Note on encryption

Oauth2 has nothing to do with encryption -- it relies upon SSL to keep things (like the client app’s shared_secret) secure.
