thumbnail for facebook posts

Hello,

 

I have edited my _header.html file with <link rel="image_src" href="http://www.mysite.com/templates/base/thumb.png" /> (mysite is not the name of my site, changed for privacy purposes) and it still is not showing up when I or anybody else share the link.  Is there a specific place to put this line of code to get it to work?  I've cleared the caches and tried multiple locations within the header file. 

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Chris

I have no clue what your trying to do.

That is why you may not be getting a response.

Could you make a screen shot, or explain in more detail what your trying to achieve?

When posting a link to facebook, usually a thumbnail comes up in the status area. I am not getting this thumbnail even though i have added it and linked to it in my header file. Am i missing something?

Try the open graph tag instead. Put this under the <head> tag. Facebook keeps making changes. Not sure if the image_src method is supported anymore.

<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.mysite.com/templates/base/thumb.png" />

Thanks for the reply deano, but I still have nothing.  Strange.  Would my theme be causing this?  I am using the Biggi theme from derartmedia.
