When I post a link to my website in facebook or any social media group, the image of a black Chevy Impala appears. I'm not sure if it's a favicon or just a selected icon or image. I don't see it in my code and I want to change it.

Incidentally, your favicon is the small icon that appears in a browser's tab, bookmarks/favorites folder and mobile device shortcuts. Favicons come in various sizes for different devices.

These are a few of the sizes:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

<!-- For third-generation iPad with high-resolution Retina display: -->
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="144x144" href="apple-touch-icon-144.png" />

<!-- For iPhone with high-resolution Retina display (iPhone 5 included): -->
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="114x114" href="apple-touch-icon-114.png" />

<!-- For first- and second-generation iPad: -->
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="72x72" href="apple-touch-icon-72.png" />

<!-- For non-Retina iPhone, iPod Touch, and Android 2.1+ devices (57x57): -->
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="apple-touch-icon.png" />

I assume you're asking about your FB Link Preview image. Ask Meta (the new name). They have their own system for setting up your link preview image which has nothing to do with Dreamweaver.

Hope that helps.
