Sharing Blog Post on FB (What has changed? - Me no likey)

I used to be able to share a link on my FB page, choose a photo and bam: Blog title, article description, and photo of my choosing  made it clear that I just posted something new. Sometimes the photo I want to use from the article is not an option given, but I figured out that I can add it, slide it over to position number one, remove the rest of the photos, and good to go.

NOW, however, I cannot just add a photo that isn't offered; it is forcing me to use TWO photos, and a post does not include the description I gave the post. 

Here is an example of what I mean: https://www.facebook.com/GlutenFreeRespect/posts/2223771197649620

I do not like it! I don't know what I'm doing wrong (or more likely, what has changed!)

Hm.. it's possible you may need to run the link through the Facebook Debugger tool. Paste in your URL then hit "scrape".

@Bernadette, when I did that, this is what I got. I have no idea what this means.

I've been noticing that a lot lately @GlutenFree but I don't think it has to do with your example. Or maybe it does, but that would be something on Facebook's end. For example, if you go to the debugger and put in Facebook's url it displays the exact same error. ???

Do you have an example of what your posts used to look like?
