On November 9, I shared the following and the description worked.

Oops...sorry.

Then today when I went to share the link, it did the following. How do I fix it?

I'm not sure how everything is configured, but you can determine the description that shows in Facebook share by using the right meta tags:

<meta property="og:title" content="title" /><br/><meta property="og:description" content="description" /><br/><meta property="og:image" content="thumbnail_image" /><br><br><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">See the developer's post on Facebook here: <a href="http://developers.facebook.com/docs/share" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://developers.facebook.com/docs/share</a><br><br>What it looks like it's pulling in now is your Google Analytics Code, which is strange - I'd make sure that's working too. You may have some missing close tags somewhere.<br><br><br>Marissa<br></span>
