add_theme_support( ‘post-thumbnails’ );
\nset_post_thumbnail_size( 50, 50 ); \/\/ 50 pixels wide by 50 pixels tall, box resize mode<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Then, whenever I upload an image, there is a little button next to the “Insert Post” button that is labelled “Use as featured image”. I click that on the image I want to show as the thumbnail in Facebook.<\/p>\n

It would be nice if it just automatically selected the first image in the post as the Featured Image, but it doesn’t. I have to do it manually. If I forget, it uses an image from the sidebar of my post. :-(<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
