How to Insert Custom Image Thumbnails on Facebook Link Sharing
Facebook allows you to "Attach" links to external content to your Facebook Status Updates, which presents several advantages to simply copying and pasting the URL itself into your update. Namely, the Status Update interface allows you to edit the preview of external content your Facebook contacts see. Whether you choose to edit the website title or description, select the thumbnail version of any image the post or page contains to display alongside it in your post.
