  The featured image of a post should be the FIRST photo. That one typically matches Title of a blog. In my most recent post, the wrong image comes up when I share to Facebook.

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

  Are you using Publicize? https://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/
  Have you tried using the Facebook debugger?

  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.

  Please read Images in Publicize http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#images-in-publicize
