Does anyone use HootSuite to post on Blogs

Hello Everyone.

Hope you all are doing well today. I have one of my writers that is using https://hootsuite.com/ to post to some of our facebook pages and other pages. She's having problems when she posts using some photos. Hootsuite resizes them somehow and messes them all up. Resized, too small, or blurry and distorted. That's not the real question here that I have though.

Do the big search engines block this type of software because it cuts corners by using it? You can schedule posts and use it on multiple sites. Is the old fashion way of posting directly to a site one at a time better then using this software to do massive posts all over?

Any advise would be welcome. Thanks!

    #4 Facebook Image Problem

    (No Thumbnail & Summary previews in Facebook in Certain Situations)

    If you are posting or sharing a link to your Facebook page, ones with photos and a summary are far more likely to be clicked than ones with just a short text status. When you post a single update or use the standard scheduler in Hootsuite, it does post the thumbnail and summary. It gets this from the open graph tags on the web page or tries to have a good guess. However, if you use the bulk scheduler (uploading from a csv file) or use the RSS feature (posting directly from an RSS feed) you are stuck. Facebook is only going to get the text in a Tweet-like status (see the screenshot on the left).
    I did contact Hootsuite about this, and to be fair they were quick in responding “Yes that is correct, if you schedule a post you can choose the thumbnail and it will post. However this is not a feature yet with Rss feeds and Bulk schedule, we invite you to submit this idea to our feedback forum here:http://feedback.hootsuite.com“. Hootsuite Help also replied to a Tweet saying that it probably wouldn’t be added in the future due to “logistical reasons“.
