  When I’m entering a new status on Facebook and want to link to my blog, the “blog picture” I created doesn’t show.
  The blog appears without any picture at all in the status box.
  How can I do it?
  Thanx for your help

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  We do not control this. It is Facebook that controls which images they select to post.

  Only the first five images uploaded to a post (direct inclusion/gallery/slideshow) will be sent to Facebook. The images size has to be at least 200 x 200 pixels.
  To select which image will be used for things like Facebook Publicize, you can use a theme that supports featured images. If a featured image isn’t set or your theme doesn’t use featured images, then the code tries to pick the first image in the post or page. If no image is found, then the blavatar is used.

  Thanx but it still doesn’t work. When I publicize posts on Facebook, no image is selected. I have the Twenty Ten theme so it should work…

  . It is Facebook software that selects to which display images or not to display images at all, and we have no control over what the Facebook software selects.
