  when I publicize to FB, the last image in my post is used at the thumbnail on the FB post. Is there a way to choose another image to be used as the thumbnail. The last image in a post isn’t always the best choice! thanks.

  No. 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.
