What’s creepier skeleton wreaths and spooky Halloween decor or Facebook changes? Well, I updated my Facebook profile to the new Facebook Timeline. I love it. I think.
*Update. You will only be able to see Timeline on my page if you have already switched over yourself…
Here’s a few reasons I think you might like it too…
- The layout is gorgeous.
Really. The images are large (isn’t my dog a cutie?) and everything is laid out on a strong grid, which translates really well from web to mobile device. - With all this real estate the design options are endless.
How fun is this profile? AND, there are so many more fun cover shots already out there. In fact, it’s spawning a whole entire baby design industry. - It tells the story of your life like nothing else. The good, the band, the bland, boring or beautiful.
- It’s so much easier to find everything – a Facebook first. Want to know what handbag I was gushing over two years ago? Here it is:
I still think it’s lovely and just for fun I clicked on the link. It still works. I still don’t feel like I can buy a diaper bag for my everyday purse. Can I?
What do you think? Do you like the changes coming and the new look?
If you don’t spook to easily, you can update your page too. The tutorial I followed is very easy. But, BEWARE. Once you update your page to the Timeline view, you cannot go back.
I bet you’re wondering why you’d want to make the move early. I don’t know about you, but when I first started posting on Facebook I didn’t know much about privacy settings. Those early open posts have been unearthed. I want to tighten things up.
Plus, it’s sort of fun to be first. Am I right?

Does this new layout have everything in chronological order on the home page? That is mt biggest gripe with FB right now.
Stacy, I would like to answer your question with a resounding yes, but unfortunately the changes I am seeing do NOTHING to the home page. It’s just a change to profiles. I am not loving the news feed right now either. It’s the whole top stories thing that drives me nutty.

Lisa, I really love it! Profiles are going to be so much easier to navigate…I hope they make similar changes to pages – SOON!

I really like it! Although, I’m wondering if I have to make the change to view your profile like this. Do you know? Because right now I see your profile normal.
Kami, You can only SEE the updated profiles if you have updated as well. I tried to include some screen shots so that you could see how it looks…

OK! You talked me into it… haha. Might as well see how it’s going to work before it happens anyway, right?!
Kassi, Let us know what you think. I like Timeline. Now if they would only fix the home page…
Made the change, super easy and love the way it looks~! Thanks~!
