  Instead of posting the URL for my blog post and then add another picture, how do I just post the blog post that already shows the picture? And once they click on the picture it takes them to the post? I’ve tried putting media on my blog post but it won’t show up.

  Any help?

  We have no control over the images that Twitter, Facebook or any other social networks 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.
