 We should aim to best control how WordPress is represented when shared on
 social platforms. Without open graph tags, we're at the whim of how
 Facebook etc decide to parse and present our messaging.

 This has lead to significant issues in the past where, e.g., an ill-
 fitting WordCamp promotional image has been sourced as the primary image
 to represent the page/product/brand.

 Add the following tags to the <head>.

 {{{
 <meta property="og:type" content="website" />
 <meta property="og:title" content="Blog Tool, Publishing Platform, and CMS
 - WordPress" />
 <meta property="og:description" content="Open source software which you
 can use to easily create a beautiful website, blog, or app. " />
 <meta property="og:url" content="https://wordpress.org/" />
 <meta property="og:site_name" content="WordPress" />
 <meta property="og:image" content="https://s.w.org/images/home/screen-
 themes.png" />
 <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image" />
 <meta name="twitter:creator" content="@WordPress" />
 }}}

 Note that, the description and image can (and probably should) be refined
 by the marketing team - but this shouldn't hold up deployment.
