  Hey guys…is it me…or is it the new FB page design that only enters the wordpress entries as links…? I have publicize on, and what its “throwing” to the FB Fan Page wall are links only, not even a picture….

  Do you guys know how to solve…? or is it something we now must get used to it with FB…?

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

  We can’t control which images Facebook uses. Please try reading this section under Publicize troubleshooting and acting on it:

  • Only the first five images uploaded to a post (direct inclusion/gallery/slideshow) will be sent to Facebook. The images size has to be at least 200 x 200 pixels.
  • To select which image will be used for things like Facebook Publicize, you can use a theme that supports featured images. If a featured image isn’t set or your theme doesn’t use featured images, then the code tries to pick the first image in the post or page. If no image is found, then the blavatar is used.

  thanks timethief….

  Totally agree there, i have that all setup, the problem is that prior of the new FB Page layout, once I publish a post in my blog, it will appear in the FB Page with a the first words of the post….

  Now, its not like it anymore, its only the link with a yet smaller picture, the picture I’m not that worried about, the thing is that at first glance is not “eye catch” as only the title in the form of a link is being displayed…

  I’m sorry but that display issue is on Facebook’s end of things.
