Facebook not showing images from web page

Have you tried sharing a link from Facebook but the image from you webpage does not appear at all? I encountered the same issue and after digging the web here's what I found out.

If you want the image to appear on your facebook, you must notify facebook that you want to share your image as thumbnail. To do that, you must insert this code in your meta section before the head section of your HTML.

<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.centurypropertiesmanila.net/press-manila/gramercy.jpg" />

Take note to use the absolute address of your image for the source location.

If its still not working, try refreshing facebook cache using the facebook debugger tool. Insert your web page. http://developers.facebook.com/tools/lint/
