I still have the same issue. Do you perhaps have any other suggestions for me? Richie,

Is it possible to have a look at the code i included to confirm if i have placed the code in the correct place in the theme's header.php Chad,

See my post above from October 6, 2011. The get_the_excerpt() function was returning too long of a string. Now how I fix, along with truncating when I am lazy, is to enter my own excerpt. Then I know there are no special characters screwing up Chad's solution. Gary, I had that problem too. See my post above from October 6, 2011.

Is it possible to confirm if i am using the code in the correct place. I am using it in the header.php for my theme Weaver 2.0. To resolve the syntax error of unexpted "<" i closed off the php tag at line 62 and opened a php tag on line 93. I then inserted the code just before the wp_head(); tag. http://pastebin.com/64cx4L1U My problem is the inserted code is causing a line of text to appear above the header of the site? Also, how long should i expect to wait before this code starts working 100% when sharing to FB? I am testing this code on a copy of my website on localhost on my pc.
