   Question 1:

   I've added a Facebook Like and Send button below the content of posts and portfolio posts.
   However, when sending a message to Facebook, it takes the image of the related items,
   in stead of the actual post: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7247/7027624369_e9158b8a1c_b.jpg

   Any idea how to fix this?

   Question 2:

   I'm looking for a social buttons that also include print and email. Something like this: http://codecanyon.net/item/jquery-social-share-buttons-plugin/1742435?WT.ac=search_item&WT.seg_1=search_item&WT.z_author=designchemical. But it doesn't necesseraly has to be as sophisticated as the example I'm showing here.

   Any plugins like this that can be recommended? Or is this compatible with the theme. It does require modifications of php and css files though.

   Hi megalex,

   I may be wrong but I believe when Facebook bases the thumbnail it pulls by size/resolution so it's possible that it's ignoring the main image because of the size. Are you using a plugin or did you add the code yourself? If the former, I suggest looking to see if there was a way you could define the thumbnail. If the latter, you may find one of these websites of use: http://shailan.com/610/displaying-correct-post-thumbnail-on-facebook-share/ or http://nowsci.com/techviews/20091215/set-your-pages-thumbnail-image-for-facebook/.

   As far as question two, I think it's a matter of preference. I prefer Share This or AddThis.

   Regards,
   Mya
