Change the old description, title or image shown from a blog/website shared on Facebook or add Open Graph protocol

The Open Graph protocol is used to allow web pages to have a rich set of objects in a social graph.

 To turn web pages into the graph object, basic meta tags need to add in the pages.

 How to add it:

  • Specify additional meta tags in the <head> section of a blog/website. Eg.

<head>
    <!-- opengraph - ddtechone.blogspot.com -->
    <meta content='DD Tech' property='og:title'/>
    <meta content='Startup: Tech Talk' property='og:description'/>
    <meta content='http://ddtechone.blogspot.my' property='og:url'/>
    <meta content='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf9QrQViNGpZrG_plwC_6dkACpp5CGlS8wT2QXxnpFdezL0f8kDpTpaM3WiEhqNhHkX5Y__i8jC3TMah3PGXivm64MHHRYTmmzU8T2CsB1vwCT_yq3uboNJrXfOHkiZila2bslnKhK/s1600/IMG_20150601_132034.jpg' property='og:image'/>
</head>

  • Save it.

Now if you share your blog/website on Facebook, old description, title or image of the blog/website will be updated.

 You can debug your blog/website using Facebook Debugger Tool to see how it appears on Facebook.

 There are a lot of Open Graph tags available. You can go through the Open Graph protocol for more info.

Only some of them are mentioned here. Example: Reading the ping test results: There are no loss in packets (0% loss). Source machine has received all the sent packets.  Minimum time to communicate with the destination (both way) is 4ms and maximum is  6ms. Although, there is...
