Spooky Halloween Bunting Giveaway

Halloween is in 13 days -spooky.

We don't have much time...

So I'll cut to the chase.

I'm giving a way some handmade

Book Bunting.

The book is vintage 1981,

"The Great Bear Scare"

There is a tag...

the giveaway is only for
Elle and Lou Facebook supporters.

So pop over, hit 'like' & this handmade bunting maybe heading your way next week. 

The competition closes on Wednesday morning at 10am and is only open to Australian and New Zealand residents.

Facebook Page timeline changes: hints, ideas and a review

 Facebook pages
will switch to the new time line format on the 31st March.

Are you prepared for the change?

There are some real positives ( and negatives) about the new format.

This is my profile photo (many people have a snap of themselves)
But now you get to add a cover photo.


What is this?


Well, it is more visual 
space


All of this....

 this 

 this

and even this 

can be put together as a montage to communicate to your 'audience'.




That is pretty handy, you can montage a  theme,
 your products, other staff etc!
but
YOU  have to do it (no templates provided by FB)

It is quite easy to create a cover photo using photoshop
 (or similar programs) but keep in mind that the image
needs to be at least 399 pixels wide.


I added a little black square to my cover photo to help frame my profile name.

The other major change is the way posts can be highlighted.
This is useful but very basic and limiting. 
I am disappointed that the only choice you really have it to highlight or send to the top.




I guess I need to remember that Facebook is not a blog
 with the templates and the design features which I have come to expect.


 Facebook is what it is...
and it must be doing something right, as it is still a  business "must do"!
