  When I share a post via Facebook the postand image are correct but the hyperlink is to another person’s blog. How do I correct this?

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

  I would suggest using the Facebook debugger. https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2010/06/11/debugging-urls-with-the-facebook-url-linter/

  Thanks , I used that and everything seemed fine, except that my test post was shared under a blog title other than my own (Meanderings of a Vagabond Mind) but it did link to my blog (lydiafineart.wordpress.com, which should appear under my blog title of ‘Fabrication’).

  Hmmm, that’s very odd. Either you’re using on FB an email that is used by that other WP.com blogger or there’s a bug somewhere. Try clearing your FB cache. http://umairj.com/146/how-to-clear-facebook-shares-cache/

  Thanks for sticking with me!
  I have cleared my browser cache but the problem has not gone away.
  The instructions at http://umairj.com/146/how-to-clear-facebook-shares-cache/ aren’t quite clear enough for me. I wasn’t sure where exactly I should be adding the ?v=1 to the URL but tried.
  Also this refers to updating information on your own blog whereas my blog has nothing to do with the blog title given. Do you have any more ideas?
