Facebook Timeline Covers

I love these!

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who rarely changes. Great linkages, J. I always (you know, the million times I've done it) started with a 851x315 canvas, so I haven't had any real issues with the blurry images. I'm also generally light on sharpening...don't care for the heavy or halo look. I use unsharp mask at about 30-40 / 1.7-2 / 2
 
I just wait till I have a new pic I love, and then I use it. Pictures make me happy.

I finally did one that wasn't just a photo when I found this picture, hiding on my husband's camera:

I just used two of Mari's cards from her Today 2.0 collection. But I love it! Love how it looks with my avi in the corner, too. :)
 
I may or may not have just spent my morning going through your FB pages and loving on your timeline covers (if our friendship status allowed it). I think I notice new profile pics more frequently (and am sort of obsessed with commenting on them) because they show up in my feed all the time next to comments and whatnot. I miss the updates to the timeline covers though...there are some real gems in there. I love the extra glimpse into your lives when you share with me, so thank you so much! :wub:

if you wanna be my friend, I'm here. I don't post too frequently, but I'm 41 with a naughty streak (with a husband who appreciates it) and an amateur self-photographer who likes good music. My kids don't like to be center stage, so you won't see a lot of them, and you'll rarely see me get political. I'm mostly there to send out good vibes, share laughs and remind my friends how beautiful they all are.

Gaw-juss!! I love your graphic cover Krystal.

Sadly, I just looked and mine has not been updated since January. I generally make a scrappy one. On occasion I will use a photo.

Goal for today... update siggy, facebook cover, and desktop calendar (it's from Feb). EEP!
 
I change mine occasionally. I've had this one up for almost 2 months now. I've been doing scrappy ones when I don't have a photo I want to feature. After looking back at my previous ones, I mostly change mine with the seasons.

Great covers, everyone!

Mine hasn't really changed - I only replaced the picture with another (very similar) one and moved the text higher recently, because the original one didn't look good with the new visuals.

I love this photo because I was finally able to capture the real beauty of Yosemite park! It has Upper Yosemite fall on left and Half Dome on right. Both are my favorite hikes.. I hiked them both twice and plan to hike once again in this summer.

I just use a photo because I can't be bothered to do more. I switch the photo out depending on season, what sport DD is playing at the time, or just whatever my mood feels like - no rhyme or reason ;)

What are the pixel dimensions of the image you uploaded as your cover? If they are not 851 x 315, that could be causing the issue.

It's 851x315 - it has bugged me since the day I posted it. I thought I was doing everything right, but it won't come through clear. It's been the same on 2 other fb pages I manage. I would love to fix them all. Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

Andrea, do you sharpen the image before posting? That MCP action helps a lot.

I have not done that. You think that's the only thing I'm doing wrong? It's weird, when I pull it up in CS3 it's crystal clear - then fb does something to reduce the quality, I think. I can definitely try sharpening my image. Thx.

I got no time line loves. :unsure:
 
I change mine fairly regularly...usually photos, or photos with quotes. Rarely do I do something scrappy, just for times sake.
Right now it's this image that I made but didn't bother to crop for timeline dimensions.
