  /* You can copy and paste your Quotion site post image URL here */
  background:url(https://static.quotion.net/site/blog/image/0fbbffb2ad26.png) !important;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}

  background: rgb(var(--gray-500)/0.3) !important;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}
div[style*="/.quotion/"]::before {
  content: "NO IMAGE";
