Facebook Post Link Image

Question

When someone posts a link on facebook, a script usually scans that link for any images, and displays a quick thumbnail next to the post. For certain URLs though (including mine), FB doesn't seem to pick up anything, despite their being a number of images on that page.

I read up that FB prefers the "image_src" rel tag for the image the user wishes to specify, but this does not generate that thumbnail either for my site.

My url goes directly to the DNS, and is not forwarded, so I don't imagine that could be the problem either.

Does anyone have an idea as to why FB can't generate any thumbnails from my site? thnx tc

Answer 1

Is the site's HTML valid? Run it through w3c validation service.
