Facebook fails to pick up post image when I share a link

    When I post a link on my Facebook page, it doesn't pick up the image on the website page I'm trying to share. I added the OG image meta tag in my header area which is supposed to inform Facebook which image it should use with my shared link and it still doesn't work.

    My posts look like this:

    http://s33.postimg.org/wpqx5rku7/Post_Image2.jpg

    Instead, I want them to look like this with my image above the link:

    http://s33.postimg.org/nsqtspm4f/Post_Image.jpg

    I tried uploading the image manually, but it shows up at the bottom of the post instead of above it. It could have something to do with my image size. This website says that the recommended image size for shared links is 1200 x 627 pixels which is what I used.

    If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.

    Can we see an example page? Put it on an image if you don't want it to be spiderable.
