  When I first published my blog (on Facebook) the WordPress logo displayed to the left of my blog post. Now it doesn’t and I can’t get it to do it again.

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

  Hi Carol,

  Last September standard posts were handled differently as Facebook rolled out their OpenGraph setup. Previously we sent images to Facebook and they would choose the images, but now they read OpenGraph tags, and they don’t hit the same ones we had sent before.

  We’ve updated the support guide here.

  Currently, since you don’t have any images in your posts, it’s showing up blank.

  In order to change this, you can manually share each post by pressing the Facebook button at the bottom of each post instead of using Publicize. If a post/page has no uploaded images, Facebook will display the Blavatar as the thumbnail when you share on Facebook.

  You can add a Blavatar for your blog under Settings > General in your dashboard. We have more about that here:

  Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
