  When I share my website (ww.clairelinds.wordpress.com) on facebook it shares my “about me” photo. I want it to share the picture on the home page. How do I change this?

  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 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.

  I don’t know if this will help but I find that if I share a post without a photo in it that Facebook will post my profile pic but if the post I share includes a photo Facebook usually uses that picture. I have gotten into the habit of always including a picture in my posts for that reason.
