  I have my facebook profile linked to my blog. When there is a new post posted, it notifies my friends. The posts used to have my blog’s picture in the left, but now it is a generic image that looks like a space invader. How can I get my original picture to show up again?

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

  Unfortunately, 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.
