    How can I make my header or a photo my my backdrop when I post my site.
    Ex: If I post my link onto Facebook all I get are words, there are no picture thumbnails to choose from. How can I include a picture thumbnail so that when I post my link my picture shows up?

    Facebook automatically searches through the page that you’re linking to for image files that are embedded using the <img> tag. There’s no way to tell it to “use this one” as it usually provides just a selection of everything that it finds.

    Just looking at your blog (assuming it’s the one from a previous thread), the only images that you have using the <img> tag are the share buttons, some smilies, and the Facebook box.

    If you make a post with an image it, or add some images to your sidebar, you should see them appear as a thumbnail when linking to your blog on Facebook.

    You’re welcome!

    My first post included the featured picture of my article but now when I post my only option is a big G… I would really like the featured picture of my post to be the one that shows up with the link. How can I change it back?
