  Hi. I know how to set thumbnails / featured images for posts and pages, but cannot find how to do it for the Home Page. So whenever I post my link on facebook the image defaults to the header, which is not want I want. How do I set a particular image to be featured as a thumbnail when I post a link to the home page?

  I’m sorry but when using Publicize, note that we have no control over the images that Facebook 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.
