  Hi @danbjarnason, there are lots of ways to go about it.

  I’d consider using Publicize to share automatically:
  https://wordpress.com/support/publicize/

  You also have sharing icons at the bottom of each post. Clicking the Facebook button will set up a post for you.

  Or, you can click on an individual post, copy its link, and paste that in Facebook.

  Does that help? If not, send more details and we’ll go from there.

  thanks for replying … when i try to use publicize it asks about making a new home page or something oike that, which i dont understand.
  so i tried simply pasting in the link on face book … and got a weird image at the beginning of the post … dont know where it came from or how to get rid of it. (i cant insert the image into thois m,essage for some reason. sorry i cant be more helpful. but thanks.

  Can you see if setting a featured image helps? That way Facebook won’t just grab a random image from your site:

  Also, Publicize actually works with Facebook Pages, and that’s probably what you saw there. But the sharing buttons should work well if you don’t have a Facebook page.
