+### Using SVG as Thumbnail
+
+If you are using an SVG file as a thumbnail, you should use the `thumbnail_svg` and `darkthumbnail_svg` fields in the frontmatter instead of `thumbnail` and `darkthumbnail`. This prevents Gatsby's `childImageSharp` from attempting to process the SVG, which can cause build warnings and errors.
+
+Example frontmatter:
+
+```yaml
+thumbnail_svg: ./my-icon.svg
+darkthumbnail_svg: ./my-icon-dark.svg
+```
+
+The components are set up to automatically check for these fields if the standard `thumbnail` fields are missing or if they need to fallback to the SVG version.
+
 ## Adding Images and Icons
 
 1. It is recommended to use `@react-icons/all-files` instead of `react-icons` for importing icons. The Issue with react-icons is that even though we are importing a single icon from the package/folder it still imports the complete icon folder which is creating unwanted junks of JS in the build.
