    In the new layout, I have very limited options (one or two) for which image I can use when linking an article to Facebook. How can I link a different photo?

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

    Hi there,

    Are you referring to when you automatically Publicize a post through the Publicize option explained here or manually sharing an image via the Facebook sharing buttons at the bottom of a post?

    For the former, Facebook automatically selects images based on the hierarchy found here:

    Outside of selecting a different featured image for your post prior to publishing, you will not be able to manually select the image for a post.

    For the latter, you should be able to thumb through all images included in a post via the arrows shown here:

    Just a note, the images will likely need to be at least 200×200 px in order for it to be an option in the sharing settings.

    Does that help to clarify?
