  Hi, thanks for reading this.

  If I send a link to a blog post, or post a link to a blog post on facebook, an image appears along with the first line – in an email it’s the first image in the post, on facebook it’s the last image.

  Anyway… When I do the same with a link to the main address of the blog there’s no image – is there some way to select an image (almost like a header / logo for the blog) that will show up if I email a link to the blog address?

  Sorry that was so long-winded! I hope the question is reasonably clear!

  Thanks for your help!

  Are you using Publicize? https://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/
  Have you tried using the Facebook debugger?

  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.

  Please read Images in Publicize http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#images-in-publicize
