  I want to post my latest blog entry to Facebook, but the only images that come up are two that are not very evocative (but useful within the post). How do I make a specific image appear as the default image?

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

  Hi there. Unfortunately you have no control over that. The software on the Facebook website determines what image is used. If you set a featured image WordPress will “suggest” Facebook uses that image, but there’s no way to control it.

  The only way to have complete control is to paste the link into Facebook manually. Then you can edit the preview and usually pick which image displays. If the image you want is not under the options provided by Facebook, upload the image to Facebook directly and include the link with it.
