Facebook Timeline Part Two: Getting Timeline

Description: This is the second document in our Facebook Timeline series. In this document we will show how to get Timeline, and how set it up for basic use.

Our first document covered some of the Timeline basics - what it is, what it does, why it's not as confusing as it seems. This second document will tackle enabling and configuring Timeline.

  1. Log in to Facebook and then click on your name, next to your profile picture.
    Your Facebook Profile
  2. Click on Get Timeline to begin. You will be taken to a new, Timeline-style screen.

  3. Click on Add A Cover to set your cover image.

  5. Once that is done, select Upload Photo to upload a new image for the Cover, or Choose from Photos to choose a Cover from photos already uploaded.
    Upload Photos
  6. Drag your cover to reposition. In this case, I've used a stock Windows photo as my temporary photo. Once finished, click on Save Changes in the bottom right.
    Position Cover, Save Changes
  7. Once finished, your new Timeline photo combination will be complete.
