## Description
If you’re sharing a link to a blog post on Facebook, having a thumbnail image makes
for a much more effective share. If you have an image in the body of your post,
Facebook will use that as the share image, but what if you don’t have any images
in your post or want to specify an image you’re not using in the content? To solve
this problem, I created a WordPress plugin that allows you to control which image
shows when a link from your WordPress site is shared on Facebook.
* Thanks to [Dimas Begunoff](http://www.farinspace.com/wpalchemy-metabox/) for
the amazingly helpful [WPAlchemy MetaBox PHP Class](http://www.farinspace.com/wpalchemy-metabox/).
* I’m using the `` approach. If you’re adding
more Open Graph meta tags to your ``, you’d probably want to use ``, but in that case you probably also don’t
need this plugin.
* If you’re using any other plugins that add sharing info, Open Graph tags, or
similar, this plugin will probably conflict with those.

## FAQ
I uploaded an image but it’s still pulling my post thumbnail or first image from
post!
Uncheck the appropriate box in the panel on the post editing screen.
Why use link rel=”image_src” instead of meta property=”og:image”?
Because that’s what I’m used to using. If you can tell me why I should use ``, I’m totally open to change.
Shouldn’t you always set a sharing image?
Probably, yeah. I might add a setting to always add a default sharing image you
can set, if none of the other options are checked.
