I have not been able to post my blog to my FB page and have the featured image show as the thumbnail.
I have a wordpress blog. I use a new image for each blog post, and it shows up on the website, but when I post it to my fan page I get the image of the ebook I have listed on the side of the page.
It worked correctly the first time and has not worked since–any suggestions?
Thank you
Chrissa

@chrissamichelle you should be using open graph to communicate what info and image you want them to use in fb posts. Though they will default back to the title and description meta tags that doesn’t help with the image issue.
You can learn more here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraphprotocol/
I place this code directly into the head of my documents, but you can look for a plugin that will do this for you. I did a quick search and found this: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-facebook-open-graph-protocol/

That’s what usually happens when you post a link directly on your Page. Using an app like RSS Graffiti should solve the issue.

A lot of times I use this tool to find out what might be wrong: http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
A lot of times after plugging the link into the debugger then the image pulls in.
