use article images and not generic header image in Facebook posts
-
Hi, I have several WordPress blogs and two link to Facebook pages. On one of them I usually see a thumbnail of one of the images used in the article. But with my other blog I only see the generic header image whilst I would love to be able to show a thumbnail of an image used in the article.
See https://www.facebook.com/pages/PVPR/230294057006138 for the facebookpage I mean. The blog is homevoyeurs.com (url in WP is http://checkmyhome.wordpress.com). I might have checked something in the settings but just don’t know how to fix this.
Thanks in advance!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Will you please provide an active link starting with http:// to the blog in question so we can view it and try to help you?
Also note that we have no control over which images Facebook uses or how frequently they clear their image caches. The best advice we have is found in this support documentation entry. http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#troubleshooting
Only the first five images uploaded to a post (direct inclusion/gallery/slideshow) will be sent to Facebook. The images size has to be at least 200 x 200 pixels.
To select which image will be used for things like Facebook Publicize, you can use a theme that supports featured images. If a featured image isn’t set or your theme doesn’t use featured images, then the code tries to pick the first image in the post or page. If no image is found, then the blavatar is used.
