Hello Dave,

that is the purpose of the plugin, indeed: allowing articles with no images to actually show one when linking to social networks.

Right now the plugin only allows one background image sitewide with a possible logo image embedded. The only difference, for each image, is the article title.

I can see some improvement to the plugin in allowing the selection of a random background image (picked from a specific folder). Is that what you are talking about?

Well, if images are not visible, they are not caught up by the social networks (as far as I know).

Actually, I am wondering if, using CSS by setting the image to 'display:none', the image will be picked up or not by the social network.

I just tried it: I have addedto my template.

Facebook still sees the image, not Pinterest.
So that may work for you.

Thanks for the info.

When I created the plugin, I wanted something that did not involve adding meta tags - especially that this is just a hack that only works for Facebook.

I only meant for this plugin to show the image in the article thus far.
Now, I may expand on that and allow the plugin to actually hide the image and get into specific code for each social network out there. It will be some later development.
