  How do I make the Blog Picture/Icon for the entire site (in this case, the stack of sticky notes that also kind of looks like a stick of butter) the thumbnail for my automatic Facebook shares? That is, the links that are automatically posted to my Facebook every time I make a new post.

  Thanks in advance!

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

  We have no control over which image Facebook selects and no control over how frequently they clear their image caches. You can use Publicize to post to your Facebook profile page. Take note of these please:

  • After connecting/re-connecting the services, you will need to publish a new post in order to publicize it.
  • Only the first five images uploaded to a post (direct inclusion/gallery/slideshow) will be sent to Facebook. The images size has to be at least 200 x 200 pixels.
  • To select which image will be used for things like Facebook Publicize, you can use a theme that supports featured images. If a featured image isn’t set or your theme doesn’t use featured images, then the code tries to pick the first image in the post or page. If no image is found, then the blavatar is used.
