  Hi,

  I’ve added the Share on Facebook, Twitter, etc. option to the bottom of every post in my blog and index page.
  When someone click the Share button from the Index / Home page, the Post preview that opens in Facebook has the content of my latest post, but not the picture.
  Yes, a reader does have the option of choosing a thumbnail, but no one’s really going to do that.

  Is there anyway I can have a default image set? Especially if my post doesn’t have any images in it.

  Thanks

  Hi Regan. Perhaps this topic will shed some light:

  Bottom line: I tried sharing all three posts that I saw on your blog and every one showed a thumbnail, except of course for the post that had no picture in it :-)
