Pressing “Like” (for FB plugin) pulls avatar instead of actual image

Hey Guys..

I have a standard install of the latest BP and latest WP. I also have the latest install of the standard official FaceBook plugin ( http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook/ )

Problem:

When I press the “Like” button on a post — it pulls up the AVATAR image instead of the featured post image.

Example http://carmeetsroad.com/blog/2012/08/01/save-at-the-pump-gas-buddy/ *if you press the “like” button.. it then pulls the avatar image instead of the actual image of the post.

Any ideas?

If you do not specify an image Facebook scrapes page and finds first image. You have to put meta tags in header.

Gotcha..

So do I do that in the “header.php” file?
…sorry for the newbie question

I found this plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/opengraph/ ** You guys think it will solve the problem? **
