    Facebook selects this photo and info from your website's back end. Can you access your meta data information where all of your keywords are? Change it and wait until google crawls your website again. If you click on 'no thumbnail' before you post, you can take the picture away.

    You can change the image by clicking the arrows at the bottom before you hit share. Facebook will only pull certain images from your website or blog. If you are using a wordpress blog always add an image to the post and FB should pick it up. Also once you have posted, FB cookies will only pull up images from the very first post you made. You can not change this.

    Here is the meta tags, just change the code to meet your needs.
