Facebook thumbnail problem

by jeffreydale

So just a few days ago I decided to install the facebook comments plugin to my wordpress blog. It does what it's supposed to do, and is a great plugin, and hopefully it will allow my website to get more traffic. However..

I have just noticed that when I or someone comments using this plugin that when it posts to their facebook as "User has commented on a link." that when it posts to facebook it is displaying my sites top logo as the thumbnail and not the first image of the post. I would like to have the first image of every post to be displayed as the thumbnail so it is more relevant and not repeatedly showing the same image.

Hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about and has a solution.. I know this seems kind of confusing.

    FB uses a meta information grab the thumbnail. If a site don't have that tag then FB takes the first image file. You can control this by using an extra meta data like <meta property="og:image"/> in your site's header.
