  Hey there,

  There is a 480x480px minimum acceptable size for Facebook posts, otherwise the thumbnail will not show up. How big was the thumbnail you used?

  Let me know, thanks!

  Hi

  This post outlines how Facebook chooses pictures for your shares.

  Generally, Facebook takes images associated with the posts and not the header image from the site. Do you have any featured images or images that you can add to your individual blog posts?

  Hope this helps!
