Sharing link says protected blog
-
When I try to share the link to my blog on facebook an image does not appear in the link. Rather it says the blog name and above that ‘Protected Blog > Log In’. How do I change this? My blog is public.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Facebook debugger
http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debugWe 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.
Please read Images in Publicize http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#images-in-publicize

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 alternative is to wait for it to clear out on its own in about a week.
If that does not work then Facebook has yet to flush their caches and we have zero control on that but you can try using the Facebook debugger to expedite this by visiting https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
