  Hi there,

  I have a blog site with you, however when i link to it on face book, the post on facebook comes up with a wee tag line, but a blank space where an image could go. How do i put an image in place here? We just have the free plan.

  cheers

  Kate

  Hi there,
  his isn’t a wordpress.com issue. It’s a caching issue on the social network end of things.

  Know that we have no control over the images that Twitter, Facebook or any other social networks 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.
