How-to Customize Facebook

Many of you have your own blog and facebook. So I thought of helping you out with a few tutorials on how to spiff them up. It took me forever to learn how to do a few things, so I am going to make it a bit easier for all of you and share my insights.

So you want to learn how-to customize your facebook page. It’s not as hard as it seems. Even if you do not have much computer experience it could easily be done in a few simple steps. So let’s get down to it.

Cover Photo

We will start by updating your facebook header or cover photo.

To the right of the header you will find your change cover image. Scroll over and select.

There you will find your Upload Photo tab. Go ahead and select it. As far as the dimensions for your cover photo, for optimum quality we will be using 851 x 315 pixels.

Profile Picture

Your profile picture should not be any smaller than 180 x 180 pixels, however keep in mind facebook will shrink your profile picture down to 160 x 160 pixels. To change the profile picture, you will be doing the exact same as you did with the cover photo. You even have the option to take a photo with your computer, so pucker up (or not).

Facebook Tabs and Apps

Static Iframe - {Free stuff tab} - Keep a look out for a tutorial on how to grow your fan base with free content offered for your facebook friends who ‘like’ your page! {Future Post}
Pinterest App - App that asks fans to like your page to reveal your pins.
Etsy shop Facebook app - App to add your Etsy shop to your Facebook page.
NetworkedBlogs Facebook app - App to add your blog feed to your Facebook page.
InstaTab Facebook app - Add your Instagram feed to your Facebook page.
Free stuff tab - I will be sharing a tutorial with you soon on how to grow your fan base with free content offered for your facebook friends who ‘like’ your page!
So now you have the apps you want on your page set up. Some will have a basic tab image on them to start of with. To change them, follow these next steps.
Ok , next to the tabs you will find a little arrow. Click that little arrow.
You will find a little pencil in the corner of the app icon. You are going to want to click that. Here you have the ability to change the order of your app tabs by using the ‘swap position with’ function. The ‘photos’ tab is the only tab that must remain in the first position, but you will have the option to decide which three you want to show up next.
Finally , click on ‘Edit Settings’. It’ll take you to a pop-up box with ‘Change Image’ as an option, click that box, and load up your new custom tab image. Make sure to also change the name of the App to whatever you like. If you are using your own, the your tab image should be 111 px x 74 px.
That’s it!
