Facebook Timeline Images [CHEAT SHEET]

As I mentioned in my blog post last week, starting March 30, 2012, whether you like it or not, Facebook will be converting all business Facebook Pages to the new Timeline layout. Here’s a quick checklist of things that you have the next 21 days to complete:
  1. Design an eye-catching cover photo (851 px wide x 315 px high)
  2. Correctly size your logo to fit in the new “profile picture” position (125 px wide x 125 px wide)
  3. Design custom pictures for your “favorite” apps that will show on your timeline (111 px wide x 74 px high)
  4. If you have created custom tabs, you’ll need to resize them to 810 pixels wide 
  5. Dig up old photos (or as Facebook refers to them, Milestones), upload them to Facebook and include in your timeline. This could include a picture of your original building, a product or service launch, when a new employee was hired, etc.

Now for your challenge: for the next 21 days, you will have the option to preview what your page will look like in the Timeline format before you take it live. This gives you a great chance to play around with different designs, photos and layouts.
