This is the updated code for facebook og tags
I have tested this on one of my own blogs and it works although facebook may have old versions of your share data cached and it will be up to you to get this reset
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing/batch/

This will only work on blogs that are output by xtscript and have a twig template file
The script creates AUTOMATIC facebook og meta tags using the posts title text content canonical URI and the FIRST image found in the post
I have already updated this on your site nightmareclick

This needs to go in your blog twig just below the {% elseif view == 'entry' %} Line
Here is the actual xtscript code it needs it needs to be inserted after the blog has been assigned to a xtscript variable ( this expects it to be $blog )

# FB OG TAGS 
get __xtblog_entry
 if not $__xtblog_entry or not $blog
  var $fb_og ={{
<meta content="DEFAULT TITLE" property='og:title' />
<meta content="SITE DESCRIPTION (max 300 chars)" property='og:description' />
<meta content='<xt:url/>' property='og:url' />
<meta content='website' property='og:type' />
}}
  goto @skip_og
  endif
  var $og_tags_s = call strpos $haystack=$blog;$needle=og_tags=
  var $og_tags_s = ($og_tags_s+8)
  var $og_tags_e = call strpos $haystack=$blog;$needle=-->;$offset=$og_tags_s
  var $og_tags = call substr $val=$blog;$start=$og_tags_s;$length=($og_tags_e-$og_tags_s)

  var $og_title_s = 0
  var $og_title_e = call strpos $haystack=$og_tags;$needle=||;$offset=$og_title_s
  var $og_title = call substr $val=$og_tags;$start=$og_title_s;$length=($og_title_e-$og_title_s)

  var $og_descr_s = ($og_title_e+2)
  var $og_descr_e = call strpos $haystack=$og_tags;$needle=||;$offset=$og_descr_s  
  var $desc_len = ($og_descr_e-$og_descr_s)
  var $og_descr = call substr $val=$og_tags;$start=$og_descr_s;$length=$desc_len
  if $desc_len >= 300
  var $spc=call chr $val=32
  var $lstspc=call strrpos $haystack=$og_descr;$needle=$spc
  var $og_descr= call substr $val=$og_descr;$start=0;$length=$lstspc
  endif

  var $og_img_s = ($og_descr_e+2)
  var $og_img_e = call strpos $haystack=$og_tags||;$needle=||;$offset=$og_img_s 
  var $og_img = call substr $val=$og_tags;$start=$og_img_s;$length=($og_img_e-$og_img_s)

  var $fb_og = {{
<meta content='<xt:canonical_uri/>' property='og:url' />
<meta content='article' property='og:type' />
<meta content="$og_title" property="og:title" />
<meta content="$og_descr" property="og:description" />
<meta content='$og_img' property='og:image' />
}}
@skip_og

you then need to add this to the <head> area of the blog page using text editor
