  howdy, I have a small problem, fiddling around with wordpress – I guess I must have done something wrong when I started my blog … whenever I post something and have it pushed to facebook with publicize, there appears an image that must be somewhere stashed in the innards of the system, but not the one I actually want to use

  will try to upload an image in a sec

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

  Sorry but 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.

  ok, now even struggling with adding an image of what I mean here, so let me quickly describe it: the image that gets used with facebook posting I can see in the dashboard view in the upper left corner, next to the name of the blog ‘iwarriorlibrarian’ … but I cant find it anywhere within my settings … so rather clueless how to change it

  actually, I think you can, even if it isnt about what pic is chosen by FB, it’s about the image that is shown in dashboard view in the upper left corner, next to the wordpress logo and left of the name ‘iwarriorlibrarian’ – also, it shows up in the upper right corner, on the right of ‘new post’, I see my name, Christian, and if I hover over that, it drops down, and at the bottom of the dropdown, there’s an arrow to the left, the not wanted image, iwarriorlibrarian … this is the same picture as shown in the upper left corner, that’s the image I want to change

  Allow me to provide a little more information. This is a very common question asked here and we cannot assist with it. The issue is on the other end ie. at Facebook.
