Hi Team!

Many of you may have heard about Timeline for Facebook Pages being launched shortly. Page owners can start curating their Page today and all Pages will automatically get the new design on March 30. We want to know how you're using it. Try it out and link us to a screenshot in this thread and we may feature your Page in an upcoming blog post.

xo,
Danielle

I love the new timeline. Obviously, fb changes always gets some getting used to, but I think this new timeline is the best change they've made yet.

Catherine, I used 'Add a link' app. You can find it here:
https://www.facebook.com/add.a.link
You can change the images for the tab button and link page so I customised them using a screen shot of my etsy shop and some clip art.

Re: Timeline for Facebook Pages

Well, I don't know how to do a screen shot and could not figure it out. There are lots of things on that page that I am going to have to relearn from the old one....I like the look better, but I am just going to ignore it for now..way too time consuming.

Re: Timeline for Facebook Pages

Here is mine, I love it! I think the timeline idea works great for shops and gives an opportunity to make your facebook page really beautiful without having to use a ton of apps.
This is the top of my timeline: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=396872677006062&set=a.396871467006183.111624.322610951098902...

Re: Timeline for Facebook Pages

Well, I successfully put a link on my FB Page to my Etsy shop and got a screen shot saved. But I can't get the screen shot link to appear here, so I've put the link to my FB Page here instead. :)

Re: Timeline for Facebook Pages

Finally figured out how put my etsy shop in the tabs - etsy theme shop app! It's still a work in progress and I miss a lot of the old features ( like the left hand nav) but I'll get used to it. I like the cover photo feature too.

Re: Timeline for Facebook Pages

I quite like the new look. I've been using it for a number of days now and still enjoying it. It's pretty easy to update and everything looks so nice and clean and easy to read. I love that I can make my logo much bigger so that it stands out way better than before!

Here's my link to my screenshot:

And the link right to my Facebook Page:

Thank you :)

Re: Timeline for Facebook Pages

Hi Danielle!

I'm a fan of the timeline pages - they look more modern and more 'website' like. Here's my screenshot:

Re: Timeline for Facebook Pages

I tried publishing my FB page (www.facebook.com/rinconpottery) when FP started 'pushing' them first thing this month and mine is NOT showing up... :-( Not sure what to do as I'm no longer even getting the 'publish now' button. Any ideas?

thanks!

Re: Timeline for Facebook Pages

p.s. Now the 'Welcome to Your Page Preview' box is back. But when I click on the 'publish now' button, nothing happens and the preview box comes back. Messages to FB have not been answered... :-(

Re: Timeline for Facebook Pages

Danielle, in response to your original question "we want to know how you are using it"

I posted funny photos of myself (in a dress that I made and reviewed for pattern review) as my cover photo.
Then I went to my personal Facebook page, posted the link to my biz page, and told my actual friends how many of them have not yet liked my facebook business page, and they were missing funny photos unless they took a look there. I got a handful of new "likes" immediately and some fun conversations too.

I plan to do more with the milestones function. I have to dig up some old photos of my first products which were not sold online. I think the milestones aspect of the timeline will really help tell the full story and be a great benefit to solopreneurs like me.

See my funny cover page here:

Re: Timeline for Facebook Pages

I dig the new FB timeline, especially for business pages. I'm using my "cover photo" to post images of what I'm doing/working on -
