    How do I set the featured image for sharing the link to my blog on FB? I copy and pasted the link to FB, which generated a button to click to follow to the site, however it isnt displaying a picture.

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

    Hi there,
    You can set the Sharing options to social media from your WordPress.com site, no need to paste the link in your FB page each time.
    To do this, connect to your social media accounts through Publicize:
    – Click My Site > Sharing
    – Click Publicize Settings and Connect next to the social media accounts you want to connect. In this case Facebook. You can connect to as many as you want. You’ll be asked to log into your FB account only one time.
    – When you publish a post, in the Sharing option on your left sidebar, make sure your social media is checked. Your post will be automatically posted in your FB page when this option is selected at the moment of posting. The featured image of the post will be usually used as the thumbnail in your FB account. But take into account that FB has certain requisites for images, and if your featured image doesn’t meet them, it will retrieve another image from your post.
