  When I share my blog to facebook, only the wordpress image is an option. I have several images on my blog, but none of them are showing up as an option to be featured when sharing.

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

  Unfortunately, we have no control over the images that Facebook 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.

  P.S. Try uploading a blavatar (favicon) http://en.support.wordpress.com/avatars/blavatars/

  Thank you! I’m new to this and I didn’t know that. I did discover that if I share on Twitter (which is linked to also share on Facebook) that the image within the blog loads.

  Thank you for the quick response!
