  Hi WordPress team,

  Previously, when I shared my blog link from WordPress to Facebook, the link used to show up with a preview of an image from my post. That was very useful considering I draw some of them myself and people love them. Now, however, I see that only the link shows up. It is not a Facebook thing, as I shared a wikipedia page and it shows up with the photograph in the preview.

  Any help is appreciated. If you would like screen snapshots, please let me know.

  Thanks

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

  We have no control over the images that Twitter, 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. See http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#images-in-publicize
