  When sharing a link to my site on facebook (by copy and pasting the link), the site title and favicon or image won’t show up in the share. Displays as no title. How do I change this?

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

  Hi there,

  Facebook has a debugger tool which allows you to see all sorts of information about any link which you are trying to post. You can find it right here:

  https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

  I ran your most recent post through it, and it appears that your title and images are pulling just fine. Are you still having problems or was it a different post which was not displaying correctly?

  Let me know!

  Thanks for your help. It is the homepage, or the the site itself, that people are sharing. So it’s the website link that won’t display the title and any image. I picked a blog icon and thought that would do it.

  I just ran your home page through the debugger a couple of times and I got it to recognize your Blavatar (blog’s avatar). The next time you share it, it should come up with the “H” logo which you previously uploaded.

  Let me know how that works out for you and if you need anything else!
