First order of business: Facebook Timelines!
At the time of this posting, only 9% of my friends have signed up for the new Timeline. What are you waiting for? As a Facebook Developer, I setup my timeline back in September and I love it!
There's no reason to be afraid!
Once you get timeline, you'll have 7 days before anyone else can see it. This gives you a chance to get your timeline looking the way you want before other people see it.To help you get started, your timeline includes some of your top photos and stories. Hide or highlight whatever you want and add anything that's missing.

Privacy
Any privacy settings you've already set will still apply to the Timeline interface. So the photos of you laying on the beach that day last summer when you called in sick are still hidden from your boss.Only the people you originally shared a post with can see it on your timeline. If you want, you can go back and change who sees a post, delete it or just hide it from your timeline. To hide stuff, just click the pencil icon at the top of the post, then choose “Hide from Timeline.” Simple!
Simply hover over the post, then click the pencil to edit, delete or hide post. |
Personalization
Timeline is all about you telling your story! You can even start from the beginning, as far back as when you were born! To add a historical stuff to your Timeline, simply hold your mouse pointer over the line in the center of the page until it turns into a plus sign, and shows you the option to add status update, photo, place check-in, or life event.
Simply hover over the center line to add new (or old) stuff. |
So, what are you waiting for? Go, get busy! Embrace the timeline and make it yours!
