  Hi, I uploaded a photo and description in my general settings. For some reason, it is not showing up when i post on Facebook (the picture and the description). Perhaps it just hasn’t been long enough for you guys to update. I just wanted to make sure that there isn’t anywhere else I need to update for it to post on Facebook properly (Gravatar, etc.)

  Thanks!

  Ross

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

  Hey there, Ross!

  For information about what image is displayed in Facebook, this might help:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/facebook-image-thumbnail/

  As you may see in the configuration suggestions in the link above, it is recommended that you add a Featured Image for each post/page you create. That is the first image that Facebook will try to ‘grab’ when you share your site on your wall.

  For information about Featured Images:
  en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!

  Hey, This really helps and I’m doing my best to learn about this stuff… but I’m an engineer and artist, not a coder. A quick question you might be able to help on.

  It is still showing up blank in the bottom of the debugger after runned. Below is the errors I got. So I can’t seem to figure out how (or what) to change what Facebook debugger is asking me to change. My uploaded image is 1400 x 1400. Maybe FB is pulling some cropped image from somewhere else? Here is the info I last got:

  When and how we last scraped the URL
  Time Scraped 2 seconds ago
  Response Code 200
  Fetched URL http://www.wondereastwanderwest.com/
  Canonical URL http://wondereastwanderwest.com/
  Notice
  Warnings That Should Be Fixed
  Extraneous Property Objects of this type do not allow properties named ‘article:publisher’.
  og:image could not be downloaded or is too small og:image was not defined, could not be downloaded or was not big enough. Please define a chosen image using the og:image metatag, and use an image that’s at least 200x200px and is accessible from Facebook. Image ‘https://s0.wp.com/i/blank.jpg’ will be used instead.
  Parser Mismatched Metadata
  The parser’s result for this metadata did not match the input metadata. Likely, this was caused by the data being ordered in an unexpected way, multiple values being given for a property only expecting a single value, or property values for a given property being mismatched. Here are the input properties that were not seen in the parsed result: ‘article:publisher’
  To find the object, these are the redirects we had to follow
  original http://www.wondereastwanderwest.com/
  301 http://wondereastwanderwest.com/
  The following will be treated as a redirect by the crawler:

  A HTTP redirect
  A <link rel=”canonical” href=”..” /> tag
  A <meta property=”og:url” content=”..” /> tag

  The final URL, which we tried to extract metadata from is highlighted in bold
  These are the raw tags that we found
  Meta Tag <meta property=”og:type” content=”website” />
  Meta Tag <meta property=”og:title” content=”Wonder East Wander West” />
  Meta Tag <meta property=”og:description” content=”A collection of thoughts and ramblings of a California transplant exploring the other side of the world.” />
  Meta Tag <meta property=”og:url” content=”http://wondereastwanderwest.com/” />
  Meta Tag <meta property=”og:site_name” content=”Wonder East Wander West” />
  Meta Tag <meta property=”og:image” content=”http://wondereastwanderwest.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/albumart1.jpg?w=1200″ />
  Meta Tag <meta property=”article:publisher” content=”https://www.facebook.com/WordPresscom” />
  Based on the raw tags, we constructed the following Open Graph properties
  og:url http://wondereastwanderwest.com/
  og:type website
  og:title Wonder East Wander West
  og:image
  og:description A collection of thoughts and ramblings of a California transplant exploring the other side of the world.
  og:site_name Wonder East Wander West
  og:updated_time 1419546772
  When shared, this is what will be included
  Wonder East Wander West
  A collection of thoughts and ramblings of a California transplant exploring the other side of the world.
  wondereastwanderwest.com
  Based on included and inferred properties, the above preview is what users will see when they share this url. See this in the share dialog.
