I agree with @alvaromontoro naming or giving title to the articles.

For banner image, I streamlined my workflow with Sketch and Photoshop (can be removed but I like it that way)

I developed a template for the square icon image and the banner image and reuse it for all posts.

For icons in the banner, I use icon-finder and for Images I use Unsplash; and give the proper credit in the bottom of the post

You can check out some on my blog: time2hack.com

I settled for this format because I wanted to make a pattern in the banner so that readers can recognize the source.

I use Buffer for scheduling the posts to twitter and other social media. But they only support 3 SoMe accounts for a free Buffer account.

Though I am trying to build a solution to automate the flow:
RSS -> LinkShortner -> Social Push (Twitter, FB, Insta, Pinterest) + Buffer -> Slack Notification

(Let me know if you wanna know more)
