Are you talking about your Gravitar? Are the profile places other websites that you have signed up for like say youtube?
There are a number of sites that will use your email address to identify you and if you have used a picture on another site using the same email address they might grab that picture. The image you see to the left here of me is hosted at Gravitar and I can change it there, and even use a few different ones for specific websites. If you have a gmail/google account, a lot more sites will use that image. It is kind of creepy that they can do it, but that is the world we live in now…
Thanks actually it’s the picture that comes up when I put our site URL in LinkedIn or Facebook. It takes a picture from our page but it’s not the best picture to describe our site, I want to put in another one instead. Is the possible?
ah, actually that is a good question. I have often wondered how they got those, sometimes it is the biggest picture on the page and sometimes it is just random. I would actually like to know this too!
In fact, I wanted to find out bad enough to use the googles and found this: http://www.insivia.com/so-how-do-i-change-that-facebook-thumbnail-image/
I haven’t tried it, and you might want to use a PNG rather than a GIF, but try it and let us know what happens.
Thanks for your help it’s not exactly what we are looking for. If you go to your linkedIn or Facebook and you post a blog or your website in there, an image comes up but there doesn’t seem to be a consistent image. It’s not always an image on the post or page. I was going to put a blog post up there and for some reason the picture in our about you came up. I want to know how to change that image or no how to put a specific one up there, even a logo.
