  Hi, i’ve realized that when I post the link of my blog http://www.kinleonn.net on facebook, whether in a status update or a comment, the preview image that comes with it is this random image post from one of my blog posts that frankly has no relevance to my blog. Is there any way to customize this image being previewed in facebook?

  Thankkkkks!

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

  Unfortunately, we have no control over the images and/or other media files that Facebook chooses to display or when they choose to flush their image caches. They are in your blog’s RSS Feed. We really only send them the URL of the post, and they hunt through that for the excerpt and images to include.

  What you can do is:
  create a shortlink in WordPress and paste ist in your FB Account, this way FB choose the first picture of the post, witich you previously choosen on the Post to be the Featured Image.
