Hey Guys, I have one question for you, maybe it sounds stupid but anyway.
Is there away to encode the featured images of wordpress posts? I mean I can store in a php var the url of a Featured image of a posts, but how can I encode this image. I’ve tried to using this:
$img_url = the Featured image url;
$encode_image = base64_encode($image_url);
?>and them I use this:

As a side note, however, this is Not A Great Idea unless the images are *tiny* (icon-sized, and even then it depends). Doing this with normal-sized images would make your page insanely heavy, and -since the images are inline in the markup- would block page rendering until they were done being downloaded.
