How can I change the image Ping.fm gets for Facebook?
I like the new integration with Facebook. But, when it posts a link from my blog comiclist.com at Facebook, it pulls the first image it sees, which is transparent png. When it shows that png on Facebook, it shows it with a black background instead of a transparent one. I changed the png to gif but the same thing happens. I'd like to be able to tell ping.fm what image to show on Facebook to avoid this.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?This is basically the same question I asked in this thread:

Not sure if they can be combined, but once one of us gets an answer, both can be closed. :-) -
Inappropriate?The easiest solution here is to provide a few metatags on your page which facebook looks for when linking to a page:
"If a preview is not displaying correctly for your URL, you may need to contact the webmaster of the site you are trying to share to check whether it meets Facebook's requirements.
In order to generate a Share preview successfully, a website must include the following three meta tags in its source HTML:
<meta name="title" />
<meta name="description" />
<link href="http://www.example.com" rel="image_src" />"
