title: How do I set an og:type for the first time without losing likes?
body: <p>When I first created my site, I neglected to add the Open Graph tags that Facebook recommends (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/), and the site now has about 1200 Facebook likes through a fb:comments widget. <a href="http://graph.facebook.com/http://feedtheanimalssamples.com/" rel="nofollow">http://graph.facebook.com/http://feedtheanimalssamples.com/</a> shows this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
     "id": "http://feedtheanimalssamples.com/",
     "shares": 1204
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Recently, I've added added the following OG tags:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;meta property="fb:app_id" content="59193243341" /&gt;
  &lt;meta property="og:title" content="Girl Talk - Feed The Animals Samples (old)" /&gt;
  &lt;meta property="og:image" content="http://feedtheanimalssamples.com/fta_small.png" /&gt;
  &lt;meta property="og:url" content="http://feedtheanimalssamples.com" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when I add the og:type tag:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;meta property="og:type" content="website" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and Lint the site, I lose all my likes. <a href="http://graph.facebook.com/http://feedtheanimalssamples.com/" rel="nofollow">http://graph.facebook.com/http://feedtheanimalssamples.com/</a> starts showing this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
     "id": "170545342993850",
     "name": "Girl Talk - Feed The Animals Samples",
     "picture": "http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/188039_170545342993850_3277642_s.jpg",
     "link": "http://www.facebook.com/pages/Girl-Talk-Feed-The-Animals-Samples/170545342993850",
     "category": "Website",
     "website": "http://feedtheanimalssamples.com/",
     "description": "Interactively identifies the samples in the 2008 album 'Feed The Animals' by mashup artist Girl Talk.",
     "likes": 1
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>(Note the "likes": 1.)</p>
  
  <p>So: How do I set the og:type without losing my likes?</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to let my likers know that I've created a new and improved site. I'm following the instuctions at <a href="http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/397" rel="nofollow">http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/397</a> under "Publishing to Connected Users via Graph API", but using that API apparently requires specifying an og:type.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
