Quirky Grandma on Blog

12 May, 12

When I share my blog, it posts my page description rather than the post that I am sharing. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

I tried to share your blog on FB (http://momolovesanna.blogspot.com/) and also tried "Should I post pictures i find on facebook I like?". Both displays just find:

I have had issues with this for a while. Do you know what may the problem?

It's a common issue. If you really want to have full control of how your post will appear when shared on Facebook, you have to use Open Graph Protocol. If you have some HTML knowledge, it's easy.

I have no HTML knowledge myself but i just added in the like button for facebook and did a fix I found online about this. The like button is right, but still is showing my description. The article I read said something about 24 hours for facebook to update it.

@Susan: Yes, that's right. FB re-crawl the link after 24 hours. But I found a way to make sure that they're up-to-date. Just shorten the URL (using bit.ly) and use the shorten one when sharing it on FB
