We'll warn you: it's going to be a bit jarring and confusing at first.
Just know that everything in your Timeline is restricted by the privacy settings you've been using all along. If a post or photo was public before, that means anyone can see it. If it was a "friends only" post, it'll stay that way.
And so on.
But Timeline does make it easier for people to scroll back and look at your Facebook activity from day one. That may make some people uncomfortable.
Luckily, we're here to help. Keep on reading to find out everything you need to know to clean up your Facebook Timeline.
The same goes when adding a new photo. Always check first! But there are even more things you can add to the Timeline...

This may be something you want to share with your friends, but not the entire world. Let's try adding our last move to NYC... Screenshot You'll also notice a bunch of photos show up in your Timeline. You probably don't want everyone seeing those. Hover over the photo you want to get rid of and select "Hide from Timeline."

How To Features FacebookFacebook Timeline For Pages: Editing Timeline

Great, so you’re previewing Timeline for your Facebook Page. Now what?
Well, one of the things you should look to do is edit what is currently on your Timeline. Editing Timeline is easy. Let’s take a look at the many ways you can alter what currently appears when fans come to your Page.
Highlight Posts on Timeline
Hover over an item on your Timeline and one of the options will be a Star. Hover over that and a tooltip will come up that says “Highlight.”
Click on that and it will make that post spread across two columns. Click it again, and it will go back to one column. This is particularly useful for any post that you want to… well, highlight.
Pin to Top
Interesting label, isn’t it? Facebook may be “borrowing” a bit from Pinterest here, but it’s language that is being accepted into our daily lives. So I’ll let it go.
When you hover over a post on your Timeline, an edit icon will also come up.
Click on that and a drop-down will appear. The first item is Pin to Top.
If you select “Pin to Top” the post will then stick to the top of your Timeline. These posts are flagged with a yellow bookmark-like-thing:
This is especially useful for anyone who posts frequently and doesn’t want important information to get buried in their Timeline. A “pinned” post will stay at the top for up to seven days. Of course, you can always unpin it by going through the same steps, and it will go right back to where it was.
Something I figured out is that you can’t both Pin and Highlight a post. In other words, you can’t keep a two-column post at the top for extra emphasis.
Other Options
From that same drop-down menu, you can also Change Date, Hide from Page, Delete Post, or Report/Mark as Spam.
Changing the date would typically only apply for important events you’ve put into your Timeline after the fact. You can always go back and correct the dates.
Hiding and Deleting are different.
You can make it so only certain “important” items appear on your Timeline. This will especially be the case in the past. If Facebook’s policies for personal Timelines hold true for Page Timelines, you will begin seeing fewer posts in your Timeline from the past. They are still available, and you can add them back to your Timeline if you prefer.
Activity Log
Go into your Admin Panel, then from the Manage drop-down you can select Use Activity Log.
You should recognize this feature from your personal Timeline. You can filter your posts by year or any of the following categories:
- All
- Info Updates
- Photos
- Spam
- Video
- Your Posts
- Comments
- Posts by Others
- Questions
- Notes
- Events
It’s a fun way to filter back through old content. And of course, only you can see this view.
To the right hand side of each post will be an icon that will indicate whether the post is Allowed on Page (open circle) or Hidden from Page (circle with a line through it).
If you click on this icon, you can toggle whether it appears on your Page or not.
What Do You Think?
So what do you think of these options? Do you like being able to pin or highlight posts? Tell me how you’re using these editing features in the comments below!

Facebook Timeline - a new view of "my page", its settings ... / SMMberry / SMMberry
Now let's go to your profile page. The top panel has not gone away, but everything else has changed radically. One of the features of the new interface is the ability to add a cover photo (the top photo, which will be a kind of "face" of your personal Facebook page).
To add a cover, you need to click on the appropriate button at the top of the page, upload a photo (or choose from those already uploaded). Keep in mind that it is officially forbidden to use this space for advertising purposes. nine0004
Alternatively, you can create a photo collage using third-party services such as Cover Photo Magic. By clicking on this link (or simply by typing "Cover Photo Magic" in the Facebook search box), you can get to the website of this application.
To do this, click on “Go to the application”, in the dialog that appears, allow the application to access your account. Choose the design you like, add a photo (add you photos button) and press the green continue button. Next, click the “add cover” button and select the photo you just created (it will already be saved and applied to your Facebook profile page). nine0004
However, let's continue with the new design of our Facebook profile page. Immediately below the photo is a block with information about you (we will learn how to fill it out a little later).
To the right of this block is the "selected chronicles" section. "Photos" and "friends" are fixed rigidly, and the following places can be "notes", "subscriptions", "subscribers", "map", "I like" marks, etc.
Above this block are the control buttons "update information", "action log" and the "gear" button. When you click on the first of the buttons, you will be transferred to the "information" section on Facebook and the editing mode will immediately turn on. nine0004
The activity log button is a powerful tool for managing your timeline. The gear button contains only two items “view how”, “add a business card to the site”. The “view as” menu item is needed so that the user can evaluate how others see his page. The second point is needed for those who are going to use the Facebook business card on other sites. You just need to take, copy and then paste the code suggested by the system.
Immediately below the information block are tools for creating a new event in the Chronicle.
You can post your status, photo or video, indicate your location or a new life event (the block is circled in orange in the screenshot). To the right of this block is a section with your friends (circled in green in the figure). To expand the list of all your contacts, you need to click on the "all" link. nine0004
To the right of friends there is a block for quick navigation on the Facebook timeline (it is highlighted with a red frame in the screenshot located two screenshots up the text). By successively pressing one or another year, you can see the corresponding events in a person’s life, and insert your photo for each of them.
Scrolling down the timeline, note the appearance of the navigation and publication panel (highlighted in red) that pops up at the very top of the viewport. The panel consists of two parts: the first part is your avatar, the “chronicle” and “now” buttons, and the second part is the panel for creating a new event in the chronicle, already discussed above:0004
Having familiarized ourselves with the new Facebook interface in detail, we are convinced that the name "Chronicle" is not accidental.
In the new user interface, events from his life, actions in the social network, as well as the actions of his friends are displayed in a linear chronological order, from birth to "now".
After you have successfully registered and logged in to the site, you can start editing your personal Facebook profile. This step is absolutely essential as it increases your chances of successfully finding new and old friends. To do this, click the "update information" button, which is located opposite your last name (see the screenshot located two screenshots up in the text) - you will be taken to the profile editing page. nine0004
Here all the information is divided into blocks: "work and education", "location", "about yourself", "contact information", "family", as well as "favorite quotes". Fill in all the information about yourself in your Facebook profile (city, date of birth, languages you speak, etc.). Be sure to include your marital status, as well as anything you see fit about your relatives (optional).
Be sure to indicate the place(s) of your work and study. So you can quickly find your classmates, classmates, former colleagues and just friends. At the end of editing each block, you need to click on the "save" button. nine0004
You can fill in the "favorite quotes" section, as well as indicate your religious and political views, if you wish. You can also list people who inspire you. To do this, opposite your last name in your Facebook profile, click on the "update information" button. Information will appear at the top of the page that appears. Click on it, and then select the "I like" marks, and click the edit button.
Editing the block of people who inspire you.
Here you can specify what kind of music, movies, TV shows and games you like. Surely you are a fan of a team - list your favorite athletes, sports teams and favorite sports. In the same section, you can mark your hobbies and interests. And, finally, on the page with contact information, indicate the phone numbers, address, URL of your site (if any).

A person is a multifaceted personality, so a Facebook page that contains only business photos or only vacation photos will obviously be incomplete. You can fill this gap by clicking on the "photo" link in the block for creating a new event (see the screenshot located two screenshots up in the text). If there is no saved photo on the computer, then you can take it using the webcam.
Once you save a photo, you can set it as your main photo. To do this, hover your mouse over your profile photo - the "edit profile photo" button will appear. Next, you need to click "select from photos" and specify the photo that should be your avatar. nine0004
One of the main elements of a user account is its wall or message feed on your Facebook page. Both all users and only friends can leave messages here. It is possible that adding entries is completely prohibited (this depends on the privacy settings). Above, I wrote about how to leave a message on someone else's wall, but it's no more difficult to write something on your own.
You can write on your own Facebook wall from the Chronicle or from the main Facebook page. Go to the text field that says "what do you think about" and write a short message there, then click on the "publish" button. nine0004
You can comment on other people's posts in the same way: go to another user's wall, select the post you want to comment on, and click the "comment" link. Write a message, press the enter key, after which it will appear on the page. It is not necessary to leave comments, you can mark the entry as liked by clicking on the "I like" link:
How to turn off the timeline on Facebook? Many Internet users are dissatisfied with the innovation of the administration of the social network Facebook, they simply do not like the "Chronicle" (Timeline). Therefore, “craftsmen” joined the business, writing an extension for the main browsers called Timelineremove. You can download it from the official site. nine0004
Select your browser when visiting the site.
For example, you have chosen Mozilla Firefox (there are also options for Google Chrome and Internet Explorer). You may see a warning message - click on the "allow" button, and in the next window - install now. With this plugin, you return the old Facebook interface (but only for yourself and only in Mazil or the browser for which you installed this plugin). True, your friends will see the Chronicle, and this fact cannot be changed. nine0004
