   Hello,

   I have been able to activate the Facebook button on my posts. However, when I click on it and the Facebook "Share This Link" popup comes, there is no image attached to the post. How can I get an image to appear to go along with the text?

   I'm glad to hear you're all set.

   The problem was probably linked to Facebook's cache. Facebook caches information about each one of your blog posts, and sometimes fails to cache the correct title, description, or image for your post. When that happens, you can clear Facebook's cache for that post by entering its URL into the debugger here:

   and now it's working. again...maybe i/other users just have to keep trying until they get the image. that's pretty annoying, actually. if there is a way to solve this, it'd be great to find out what it is.

   When submitting the URL to the debugger, Facebook's cache is cleared.

   If you keep experiencing issues, you can report it to the Facebook developers here:
