Follow up to Blogger/FB thumbnails

Ok, so now FB is showing my thumbnails correctly when I share my blogger posts there. I did a bunch of stuff and I'm not sure which it was or why it is working, but it is. I changed:

  1.  Upload the photo directly from your computer. Not from picasa web albums, etc.
  2. Add this link to the very beginning html of your post: 
  3. < link href="http://yourimagelink.jpg" rel="image_src"></link> Removing the space before link and filling in your desired thumbnail image url. I think this tells FB an image to use.
  4. Add your meta data to your template html. This will give you a good title, blurb about blog, etc. I think I followed these guidelines: http://www.simplebloggertutorials.com/2011/07/add-open-graph-protocol-meta-tags-to.html
  5. Wait a little bit before sharing. (This seems to help the issue. Who knows!)
  6. Link by pasting post url into FB, not with share button.
  7. There I still have to edit the title because my post title isn't coming in, but that pain I can handle.

     It took me forever googling to figure out this method, but it is working!
