Having a problem with pictures on my Blogger?

Used to be that when I posted a new blog entry to Facebook, I would get a choice to use any of the pictures in the post as a thumbnail. Now my only choice is to use the 1 picture in my sidebar. Can I override this somehow? Any way to use different pictures?

( I tried Blogger Help, but all I found out is that other people have the same problem)

Update:

Thanks! I tried your fix, SMT, and got the error: Error parsing XML, line 6, column 61: Element type "meta" must be followed by either attribute specifications, " " or "/ "

I couldn't see how to fix this myself. Any clues?

    Hello Piratemom,

    Sometimes, it happens when we use new logo on Blogger blog and that does not suit to other platforms like FB; resultant we can't see the thumbnail. If you applied any new logo on your blog so remove it and try. If not, then another process is to resolve this issue;

    1. Take the backup of your blogger template first.

    2. Go to Blogger dashboard > Template > Edit HTML

    3. Paste below code after/below <head>

    <meta content='article' property='og:type'/>

    <meta expr:content='data:blog.postImageThumbnailUrl' property='og:image'/>

    <meta expr:content='data:blog.title' property='og:site_name'/>

    <meta expr:content='data:blog.pageName' property='og:title'/>

    <b:if cond='data:blog.metaDescription != ""'>

    <meta expr:content='data:blog.metaDescription' name='description'/>

    </b:if>

    4. Save template.

    That's it. Hope, it will help you to get rid off.

    Thanks
