Yep, right Michael. A link post does generate an image, and you can choose
which image, and it links to the blog -- which is all good.

But you can't post it as a photo, so it's not as big, people can't click to
see it larger, and they can't share it as a photo. It also doesn't stay on
your page as a photo. So, the leaves photo on Facebook vs. the highlights
post right beneath it shows the contrast and engagement.
