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.
