I try to figure out what is the image that would appear when sharing blog postos on Facebook, G+ and Twitter, and what should I do for this image to appear, as for now it is a blank square what apppears in this ocassions. I don´t know if it would be de header image or the featured image or which else. I woul like to have control on this feature.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,
If a featured image has been uploaded for a post/page, WordPress.com will recommend to Facebook or any other social network that this image be used as a first priority.
Please refer to the following support page to set a featured image: https://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/
You can also get some more tips here: Please read these tips http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#images-in-publicize
However, be aware that WordPress.com has no control over the images that Facebook or any other social network chooses to display.
Happy blogging!

Hi Heliodore:
I had already read the page you recommended about featured images. I had this problem from the very begining when I had no featured images. Later on I defined feature images within the post, as the header of the post and the header of the blog (home page) and nothing changes when sharing posts en every social media I use (FB, Twitter and G+). Thay allways go aling with a blank square.
Concerning the second page you recommended, I had not read it before. I did it now but it doesn´t help me to figure out where is the problem. -

I did it. The image that is selected when sharing posts is https://s0.wp.com/i/blank.jpg. It is not in my site and It´s not mine. I dont know how to change this setting.

You can force Facebook to update its cache for your post/page by entering the link to the specific blog post you’re sharing into their Debug tool
After pasting your link into the box on that page, click the “Debug” button. Then, click the “Scrape Again” button that appears beneath the Warnings section.
You may need to click the “Scrape Again” button twice. Once the debug tool shows the updated images and information on your post or page, try sharing it on Facebook again.

I guess it belongs to WordPress because the “wp” in the domain, but it doesn´t belong to my blog.
