  Why when posting to facebook sites, has the function suddenly started giving preference to youtube clips instead of giving a choice of selecting an image to display?
  I can tell by my stats that people are just watching the video instead of opening up the link and reading the blog!

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

  I’m sorry but when using Publicize, note that we have no control over the images that Facebook chooses to display or when they choose to flush their image caches. We really only send them the URL of the post, and they hunt through that for the excerpt and images to include.
