The new Facebook Page Timeline

As you may have noticed since the 30th March 2012 Facebook changed all Facebook Pages to the new Timeline format. If this was a good decision is something I don’t know. I personally was excited when I first saw the announcement and changed two pages, I am the administrator for, to the new format, without knowing what I am getting myself into. Soon after the change I did realize some good and also some, in my opinion, bad changes that would effect the Facebook Pages I administrate.

For the better I must say that the overall design is much nicer, well at least that is my opinion. I also like the fact that you can have a big picture on the top and a smaller picture as your profile picture. This is great because now you can create or choose a very nice image for the top and for example your Logo as your profile image. The only downside is that you can not really create a nice Banner which you can also use to advertise your stuff… This made me wonder why Facebook did not allow to do this. I mean it is the Facebook page of your business, isn’t it?

Which brings me to the downside of the new Facebook Page Timeline…
