Blogging, photos from smugmug and facebook

ojn

Hi,

My wife is starting up some photography work, and I've helped her set up a Wordpress blog for it (http://photosbybrandy.com/blog). It's hosted on our own machine, but to avoid having to serve all the pictures over our DSL uplink, she's linking in images from SmugMug. It works pretty well, with one exception:

If she wants to show off her posts on facebook (by posting the link), facebook won't use the images from the post for the thumbnails. I am guessing because they're not from the same domain.

I figured I could either add a local thumbnail, or change the links to go through some URL rewriting. Neither solution seems very desireable though. Has anyone else solved this already?

Ok, nevermind. I should have googled around a bit on my own first.

http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Facebook_Share/Specifying_Meta_Tags seems to cover it. A little awkward having to add the meta tags, but should be possible to do automatically.
