Facebook How to Format HTML Page so that Share picks up an image
Question
When I use facebook.com/share.php?u=mysite.com, what must I do in my index.html document so that it gets an image as well?
Setting Title and META Description will populate the title and the description of the link.
I don't know how to do that to show an image. (index.html has Flash in it, no images).
Thank you!
Solution
Try this:
<link rel="image_src" href="http://example.com/img.jpg"/>
OTHER TIPS
Well, I must admit I'm a bit confused right now.
There used to be a page here
http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Facebook_Share/Specifying_Meta_Tags
That covered all this, but now it just redirects to here
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like
So I'm not sure if they're trying to get rid of "Facebook Share" and wholesale replace it with the Like Button or what - there's nothing in the developer blog, live status, or roadmap about it.
I suppose you can try specifying an <og:image>
attribute and then testing it the URL Linter and see what happens.
EDIT
I opened a forum topic about this.
