When my blog is sent to Facebook, it shows up on my notes page and all HTML code is visible. How can I prevent that from happening?

Thanks

Donna,

This can happen when your Feed does not contain any Body text.  When we post a Shared Link update to Facebook without any Body, they will automatically try and retrieve the body content from the linked website.  If your <meta> description field contains HTML tags, they will be displayed on Facebook in the way you're describing.  This is because the <meta> description field does not support HTML, and HTML should not be present in the field.  Only text is allowed.
