Have you implemented your FB fan page timeline? Here’s a good post on the changes that will take affect on March 30th and what you can include in your timeline cover photo- http://louisem.com/1136/facebook-fan-page-changes-happen-overnight#comment-106

Melody, my sentiments EXACTLY.
It doesn’t bother me on my personal page at all. On my fan page(s) it is HORRENDOUS. I never can see when people comment, it puts things in a bizarre order, it shows you a different view than it shows your readers (which you have to “x” out of every time you want to visit your page).
I really can’t stand it. Now ask me how I REALLY feel

I’ve experimented with the new timeline and am working on cover graphics, but I really dread the switch. In my experimentation the way timeline shows the info is not logical to me. It’s one thing to set it up… what I really dread is reading it. Friends with fan pages tell me they love the new admin feature so they can see comments they need to respond to, etc, all at a glance. My life mantra: change is good. And I ususally welcome change… but maybe not FB timeline 😉

I want to switch over the Life with Arie fan page, but I haven’t had time. We’re making the switch for our clients at work, so I literally have hundreds of theirs to do first. I figure I’ll let that be my learning curve and then go to work on our Fan Page.

Okay, Caren I hope your happy. You made me go learn something, lol! :>)
Here’s a screenshot-
Outlined in red- If you hover over the upper right corner, 2 icons appear. When you click on the pencil icon, you can edit and it lets you select Pin to Top.
Outlined in yellow- This is a pinned post. It has that little orange banner in the upper right corner.

Dawn I am stupid…how do you “pin” a post there?

I did mine. I feel like everyone else, not really thrilled with it. Although I do like that fact that you can pin a post. That has some good potential.

If you’re having to “x” out, which I assume you mean log out so you can see the non you view? you can always use two browsers. I do this all the time when I’m working on sites so that I can quickly compare before change/after change looks. Hope that helps!

Ohhhhhh!!!! You are FANTASTIC!!!! I will have to check that out! Will it stay there til we move it? I might still be a little confused but I think I have a little understanding of it. That’s after we post the link there right? (bear with me lol…you are way more tech savvy than I am!)
I sooooo appreciate that you went and figured this out and did a screen shot, for ME!!!!!!!!!!
🙂
I owe you!

It stays for a week or you can unpin it. I checked and you can only pin posts that created by the page. Could be great if you are doing giveaways on your blog.

did it! Thanks for your wonderful tutorial! The only thing I don’t like. It doesn’t pin it to the TOP of the page. It just widens the view. I thought it would pin it at the top and keep it there. Didn’t do that with mine.

I’ve switched the SureFlap Facebook Fan Page over fairly quickly and it certainly isn’t easy on the eye! Caren, I agree that it can be hard to see when fan post. I do like the nice big cover photo though and the feature that allows fans to send you private messages.

Looks good! Yeah, it just pins the post at the top of your timeline not the page so not the best, but we didn’t have that before so it will be interesting to see how well it works.

I agree with the good points but it is still sooo hard to read!

I’m still messing around with the design for both pages. I spotted a link to this site today and thought it might be helpful to those who just want to get something good up there, or it may inspire ideas: FacebookTimelineBanner.com That link goes straight to the ‘animals’ category, but there’s lots of other categories … including a few that you may want to avoid if you’re easily offended 😮 .

Thanks Melody! I took a peek (at the animal ones, not the offendable one) and they have some nice pictures.
I’ve seen some fan pages that didn’t do a cover photo and I don’t think they look bad, so that can be an option too.
I hate trying to read the timeline too Caren! I did find if you click on the grayed out button under the cover photo that says Highlights, you can chose to read the posts that are post by the page admin or those posted by the friends. It just makes my head hurt less to find things that way.
