  Is there a way to choose a photo to be posted on Facebook as a publicize photo, but not on the blog?

  Facebook would the photo posted on the blog, and since my blog is 100% about the photos posted, I’ve created a “New post” poster for Facebook so people know I have a new blog… However, I don’t want to upload this picture to my blog every time.

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

  We have no control over the images that Facebook or any other social networks 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.

  Maybe these will help or maybe not.

  I swear I answered this two days ago. You can make sure your posts all have a Featured Image, whether or not your theme uses them, and you can make sure yoru blog has a blavatar, and that’s all you can do.
