  I’m having problems sharing my posts to Facebook. Many times I need a certain image to be the one that is shared (i.e. when I feature a house plan, ideally you want viewers to see the overall image of the house and not an image of a floor plan).
  Often, too many words are included to the point where it makes it pointless to share to FB since most of the (shorter) posts can be seen in entirety on FB and not having to click to my WordPress site at all. Is there anything I can do?

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

  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.
