Facebook post optimizing

For anyone looking to see what your open graph Facebook post looks like try this tool directly from FB.

https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/

You can see what the crawler gets from your site and force it to update facebook's cache as well so you don't have to wait.  A very useful tool.  Tells you what you are missing as well. 

For anyone using publisher for your main pages-gallery the key parts are 'Album Title' and 'Description'.

Here is also a twitter card validator to check what your twitter profile looks like.

Re: Facebook post optimizing

Funny how I totally missed that in the wiki.  Google turned up what I needed. Sorry to repeat but It seems pretty important.

It takes a few tries to get it right when using Publisher to place the right information.  I know that the page title are concatenated for Title + Site name, but why is the meta property 'title' not.  This makes the Facebook cards only show the gallery title, not site title as well which would be a little more informative.  Unless there is a character limit otherwise oh well.

Re: Facebook post optimizing

There is a character limit, and social media is typically more concerned with headlines than source titles.
