title: facebook says thumbnail 250x250 image is too small
body: <p>On <a href="http://www.stanuu.org/shall_we_gather.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.stanuu.org/shall_we_gather.html</a></p>
  
  <p>I have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;link rel="image_src" href="http://www.stanuu.org/j_cherry_fb.jpg"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  &lt;meta property="og:image" content="http://www.stanuu.org/j_cherry_fb.jpg"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>(I omitted the "&lt;" and ">" because it's late, this is my first post, my wife is yammering at me and I can't figure out how to tell the editor it's HTML. Each line starts with one and ends with the other.)</p>
  
  <p><code>j_cherry_fb.jpg</code> is 250x250.</p>
  
  <p>Facebook debugger tells me:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Provided og:image is not big enough. Please use an image that's at least 200x200 px. Image '<a href="http://www.stanuu.org/images/j_cherry_s2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.stanuu.org/images/j_cherry_s2.jpg</a>' will be used instead. </p>

  <p>I started with a 160x160 for j_cherry.fb, got the error above, cropped and padded a 180x240 to be 200x200, then padded it to 250x250. Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>The basic problem is that I use portrait mode 180x240 pictures of our minister, and every time I post a link FB cuts off the top of his head to make it square. So I spent 30 minutes reading about og: and Link rel and thought I had it nailed.</p>
  
  <p><code>j_cherry_s2.jpg</code> is 180x240.</p>
  
  <p>I REALLY don't want to start using square pictures on my web pages just to make FB happy.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
