Facebook has some sort of crazy caching that we can’t control. It sounds like your blog was private when you shared it before. Now, when you attempt to share again, it’s just digging into its cache for the same description.
I know this sounds weird, but you’ll need to ask a friend who has never shared one of your posts before to share a post. This will kick Facebook’s cache back in gear. The only other know alternative is to wait for it to clear out on its own in about a week.
The Facebook debugger and it may work for you. Please try it by visiting
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ and if you have any issues using it please see here http://umairj.com/146/how-to-clear-facebook-shares-cache/ -
ok…Thank you, I tried and it just like you wrote, it appears there as private….I will ask someone to share it ;)
See if it works, thank you!! -
Please, I get this as an answer…I do not really know if it is related with what we talk about, but the sharing did not work…
Warnings That Should Be Fixed
Inferred Property The ‘og:url’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.

og:image could not be downloaded or is too small og:image was not defined, could not be downloaded or was not big enough. Please define a chosen image using the og:image metatag, and use an image that’s at least 200x200px and is accessible from Facebook.

Hi, it’s showing the post here. Timethief is correct: Facebook does cache things. If the site was private when you initially tried to share it, Facebook won’t forget that for a while. I’m guessing you’re still dealing with Facebook cache.
That can vary by location, by the way. If I try to share a post here, it works.
