  Hi! I´d like to share my blog to my friends in fb as a link, but now there is only a blank square beside the name of my blog. I have inserted both site logo and site icon but still that blank square remains. I have a free wp.com account. Please help!

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

  Hi youareamused,

  This is usually due to the featured image or uploaded image not meeting Facebook’s size requirements, which are:

  *At least 480×480 pixels in both width and height

  *Aspect ratio of width and height no greater than 3; in other words, the width can’t be more than three times more than the height, and vice versa. An image such as the garden image below is too disproportionate for Facebook to use (300 pixels wide by 90 pixels high).

  If you need more information, you can find it on the page

  I hope it helps
