  Hi,

  Where do you want the thumbnail to appear, and where did you paste it?

  Both Facebook and my LinkedIn profile; when I past the main link, it’s just a blank image.

  When I paste a link from a specific blog however, a thumbnail appears

  -Thanks

  Your Blavatar image is normally passed to social media for sharing, but yours is pretty tiny at just 80px square, and most services have a minimum size requirement. For example, Facebook sharing images need to be at least 200px square to be used.

  I’d suggest you upload a larger version of the Blavatar that’s at least 200px square. You can then run your URL through Facebook’s debugging tool and click “Scrape Again” to clear its cache.
