    Lately when I post a link on Facebook to a post on my site, there is no preview picture like there used to be.

    I haven’t changed anything on the blog, so I assume it is something with Facebook.

    Anyone else experiencing this?

    Hi Eric

    Can you share a link that is experiencing what you’re describing?
    I looked at your profile, but didn’t see any blog listed.

    Cheers!
    Jules

    Sometimes I have to delete and repost 2 – 3 times to bring up the preview

    Jules – my blog is http://www.musictomes.com. I always include at least one picture in each post. Before, when I would post a link to a post, Facebook would allow me to scroll through at least the pictures in the blog post to choose what one showed up in my Facebook status post. Now it just shows up as text.

    Mitch – I’ve tried that a couple of times with no luck. I’ll try that approach again and see what happens.

    @ericbanister Your pages are lacking a description tag and it would be helpful to use open graph meta tags in your code to communicate to facebook.

    Below are a couple of plugins that would resolve both these issues.

    The other thing I sometimes have to do @ericbanister is to run my link through the Facebook debugger:  http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
    Usually even if there is something that it mentions is a problem, I just go back to my Page, repost the link after running it through the debugger and it works properly.
