Have you ever liked or shared a page from your blog to Facebook and noticed it doesn’t pick up the correct Meta description or it’s choosing a random image to use? You probably thought it’s just how it is and you can’t do anything about it. Fortunately, you can. With Facebook Open Graph Meta tags, you can define exactly how your web page will appear on Facebook.

What is Facebook Open Graph?
Facebook Open Graph gives full control on your website’s sharing Meta tags and lets the owner or webmaster of the site define exactly what information will be shared across Facebook from their site. This is by using a special set of Meta tags specifically made for Facebook Open Graph.
