Question

I use AddThis to share my blog post. When I try to share my most recent post it pulls and displays the wrong paragraph on Facebook. I am unsure how to get it to pull the correct paragraph. Here is my AddThis code:

<div class="social"><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style ">
<a class="addthis_button_facebook"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_twitter"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_email"></a>
<span class="addthis_separator">|</span>
<a class="addthis_button_compact" href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?
v=250&amp;pubid=ra-">Share</a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">var addthis_config = {"data_track_clickback":
true};    
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250
/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ra-"></script>
<!-- AddThis Button END --></div>

To solve this issue you must use OG Tags to tell Facebook what to use. Here is an example that solved my issue:

<meta content="Title of Page" property="og:title" />
<meta content="Blog Post" property="og:type" />
<meta content="Page URL" property="og:url" />
<meta content="Image to represent blog post." property="og:image" />
<meta content="Site Name" property="og:site_name" />
<meta content="Description of Page or Paragraph to display" 
               property="og:description" />
