  I currently have it set that when I publish a new post it automatically publishes to my facebook account. However, when it publishes on my facebook it doesn’t automatically pick the first picture of my post. Instead it chooses a picture at random. Is there a way to choose which picture shows up on my facebook page or will it always be a random picture.

  In my latest post: http://apinchofsweet.wordpress.com/2011/08/08/salted-caramel-fudge-squares-my-tribute-to-starbucks/

  it chose the third picture to be the feature picture on my facebook, but I really like the first one.

  Thanks in advance.

  Also, if needed I have the “Connections” theme.

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

  Hi. Facebook can be unpredictable when it comes to the image it chooses. Remember that if you share your post manually, you’ll be able to choose which picture is displayed.

  Yeah I know I could post manually, but having it do it automatically is nice. I just wish there was a switch that says, always pick picture #1.
