Hello!
I'd like to customize the go:image parameter in order to get the thumbnail that I want when the link to my website link is posted in Facebook.
I'd like to insert this one:

<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.francescogola.net/photos/i-gQxjCXV/0/O/i-gQxjCXV.jpg&quot; />

Unfortunately even if I add a HTML block, the code is not saved and does not replace the original one.
Is there a way to change manually the go:image link?
Thank you!

Francesco

    If this is for your home page, then you need to add that image to your 'Profile > Profile Photo'

    Thank you Mike!
    Is there any way to edit directly the HTML code with the new SmugMug?
    I'd like to keep the actual Profile Photo.
    Thank you

    Not currently, no. You can add some CSS to restore your original profile photo though on the page where it appears, where are you currently displaying it?

    Hi Lamah!
    The point is that when I share the link of my website on Facebook, Facebook as thumbnail of the post use the "og:image" of the website.
    This "og:image"is associated to the Profile Picture in Smugmug websites.
    So what I want to do is simply taht when I share my website, it will be displayed a chosen image, and not my profile picture.
    Sorry for the poor explanation, but I'm absolutely a noob in programming & html :)

    I am fighting this too. I have successfully changed my profile pic to what I want as a link thumbnail and added the html. So now my link thumbnail is good but my profile pic I would like to have as a picture of Me for the Contact page. Help? Please and thank you

    Omg fix the og: Image!!
    Ok, SO I have tried all of the things that you all have said to no avail. Before, I could post a link on facebook and I could choose an image, Now--- Its just my stupid face from my profile picture.. I look a bit like a a crazy narcisstic photographer! Giving people my link like " Hey go check me out.. No really.. Check out how hot i am"

    That being said.. Fix it please!

    1. I have tried the css code in the header " All Images"
    2. I have tried the css code in the header " IMAGE URL" <- my own image of course
    3. I have deleted my profile picture
    4. Changed my cover picture
    5. RAWR!<img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/ne_nau.gif" border="0" alt="" >

    I simply go to the photo in the gallery, copy the browser address url. Then paste that into
    the FB message box. Then wait a few seconds until it generates the gallery. Delete the
    pasted in link and type some text. Plus the thumb shows of the photo I was on.

    Or use "get a link" for a photo and paste that in.

    The gallery that is generated can be fully edited. Double click the description.
