  How do I get my blog icon to appear in my Facebook posts when I post a link to a new blog post on my Facebook page. So far, when I copy and paste the url of my blog into a new FB post it will show the name and description of my blog but just has a blank square space where it seems like the icon should be.

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

  I’m sorry but we cannot help with this. 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.

  Thanks for the quick reply. I guess I’ll just keep trying stuff and ask the other bloggers I know.

  This is a long standing issue.
