Facebook Timeline Format - How Have You Transitioned?
With the new Facebook timeline format here, many of us have been making changes big and small. The first change you've probably made by now is adding a cover photo. If you haven't done this yet, refer to this post for ideas. Even if you don't know how to size a photo, you can always upload a favorite photo and crop to fit the space.
There is something I really like in the new timeline format that I wanted to point out. Have you noticed that you can upload thumbnail images for your "tabs" in the new format? Before, you were stuck with whatever tiny icon came with the app or tool you used for your tab.
Now, you've got a generous amount of space (111 X 73 pixels) to entice your page visitors to click for more! The first thumbnail is reserved for your photos, but the THREE to the right of that are yours to set-up and decide! See below (red arrows) for example.
Add what we used to call a "welcome" screen - now a custom tab of sorts. Although you can't make it the first thing people land on when they visit the page, you can use the thumbnail space strategically to draw people in for more exploring.
Are your creative wheels turning? I hope so!
How will you use this space?
