I am using links like this : https://plus.google.com/share?url=www.myurl.com to share articles on Google+ from a website.
This works fine but the preview image of the share is not right. I read in the Google doc that you need to specify an image like this:
<img itemprop="image" src="thumbnail.jpg" />
The thing is, the image I want to use is not being displayed on the page I want to share. I have specific thumbnail images (of smaller size than the images displayed in the article) that I'd like to use.
Is there a way to specify an image for Google, like the og:image tag for Facebook for example, without having to use the tag?
