Link thumbnails on Facebook

    So my frustration, being that I am not a developer and simply on the user/ blogger end of things, is that when I post to Facebook I have no option of thumbnails. I just posted a blog with six different photos on the blog topic, and within the blog is a random link to a chicken. When I posted this blog to Facebook, much to my surprise, the damned chicken was the thumbnail.

    How are thumbnails determined when posting to Facebook and is there any way to change them?

    The problem is Facebook, not you.

    The only 100% sure fire way to get your thumbnails up when you post a link… Is to include the images in the CONTENT of the post and manually add the link in Facebook.

    That is, if you go to FB and paste the URL in, it should give you alist of all images in the body of the post. You have to navigate through it, but they’re all there.
