Facebook link preview thumbnail change
-
When I post a link to my site on Facebook it brings up one of 3 thumbnails. Where is Facebook pulling those from and where do I change it?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I’m sorry but we cannot help with this. 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.
Please see http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

Oh for goodness sake! http://www.photosbynick.com/ is not a free hosted WordPress>COM blog. We provide support only for free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and not for WordPress.org software installs. You are posting to the wrong support forum.
WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate, have different log-ins and run different versions of themes with same names.
If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.

Fixed it thanks to your help. In case anyone else stumbles upon this and has the same issue, all you need to do is go to https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug enter your site link and then Facebook will recache your preview image.
