If you want to specify what image is used when someone shares/posts/likes your website on Facebook you can add this snippet of code to the tag:
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.domain.com/image.jpg"/>
Make sure you have already uploaded your image and published it.Your picture will look best if it is square and at least 600 pixels wide
You just need to change the URL in the code to the address of the published image you want to use. In Sitebuilder Plus, the header area to add the code is located under Page Settings in the Advanced Settings.
After you've added the code there and published you will need to run your website URL through the Facebook Debugger so they will crawl the site and make the update.

Logo to appear when I post links to my site on Facebook.
When I post link to my site on Facebook, a different image appears each time. How can I make it so that our organization logo is the image which appears EVERY time?

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled
Specified Facebook Images for my website link.
How do I specify an image for FB to post when my link is posted on a page or in a message? I want to change the one it is choosing.
Since posting this I found directions but:
1. I do have my image uploaded and it appears on my site, but I didn't specifically PUBLISH the image, I had always just published my site. So how do I find the IMAGE url?
2. When I go to advanced settings there are three choices, the first one already has data in it. I don't recall why I did that or what will change if I put in something else there. Is that where the data is supposed to go?
The three choices are:
Head tag HTML
Java Script (onload)
Java Script (onunload)
This is all foreign language for me. Help! And thank you

The answer at the top of this page is what I had found and looked to implement which led to the next post I made...so I have not resolved the issue yet. Thank you for any help you can give.

To clarify, The code above will go into the Head section. Even if there's other code in their already, that is ok. Just scroll to the bottom of the existing text/code and then paste in the new code. You just need to edit the url in the code as shown below.
http://www.mydomain.com/facebooklogo.jpg <br><br>Replace "mydomain.com" with your actual domain name, and then also replace "facebooklogo.jpg" with the actual image file name of the image that you wish to use. You will have to be sure that the image is published in the File Manager also. <br>

meta tag file name.
Error in <meta property="og:title" content="[my page name]" />
For some reason, somewhere in the code this statement with the wrong page name got saved, and so that is what shows up when I post a link on Facebook. How do I change what is now in "[my page name]" to the text I want to display?

1. Where do I type this code on the website?
2. What does "og:image" mean?
3. Do I have to name the image "facebooklogo.jpg"?
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.mydomain.com/facebooklogo.jpg"/>

fb:app_id hasn't been included in the meta tags. Specify the app ID so that stories shared to Facebook will be properly attributed to the app. Alternatively, app_id can be set in url when open the share dialog. Otherwise, the default app id( 966242223397117 ) will be assigned.
What's the fb:app_id meta tag? How do I format that? Thank you.

Each time I post my website address on facebook, a picture that doesn't even exist on my website comes up as the picture next to the description. Why? I need this changed ASAP.
