Why does facebook hate me? Specifically regarding opengraph meta tags, that is. (2 Viewers)

[pete]

anyone know anything about FB opengraph meta tags, and why they wouldn't be working for me?

<meta property="og:title" content="Tim Hecker - The Unitarian Church, Friday 18th May"/>
<meta property="og:type" content="blog"/>
<meta property="og:url" content="http://thumped.com/events/tim-hecker-the-unitarian-church-friday-18th-may.html"/>
<meta property="og:site_name" content="thumped.com"/>
<meta property="fb:admins" content="thumped"/>
<meta property="og:image" content="http://thumped.com//media/k2/items/cache/b822ff214b0f211027b34c192820c07f_L.jpg"/>

anyone?

might not be their fault after all

Looks alright to me now.

I would suggest putting the first few lines of each article in the description field. At the moment it stands as "Your favourite independent Irish music site." which is a bit wanky.

ah yeah placeholder

turns out the problem was cloudflare returning a 503, followed by me getting some syntax a bit wrong, followed by me leaving out the description (re: placeholder).

Cloudflare mustn't like the facebook scrapers' IP range...
