How can I control the thumbnail for a facebook status update?

OK, so I got this little problem with facebook. On my blog, I post infographics, so I want the thumbnail for facebook shares to be of that infographic. On my fanpage, no problem. However, now I'm just getting icons (for example, the blogger "edit widget" icon).

Is there some script I can put on my blog so that facebook isn't so stupid about how it chooses the thumbnail image for each post?

Thanks.

    Not sure about a script, but just in case you didn't know-

    You can choose different thumbnails using the arrows underneath the thumbnail before posting. It should give you a few options depending on how many images are on that page.

      Yep. And all 4 of them are icons of some sort from my blog, which I may not be keeping around after all. So I guess it's a moot point.

      Thanks anyway.
