subject: New Facebook Timeline For Your Business Brands: Rookie To Guide [print this page] Facebook has recently introduced the new Facebook Pages. The new layout will use the Facebook timeline for brand pages. Most page owners currently have the option to Publish Now or wait until all Pages get the new design on March 30th, 2012. But let's be honest, you probably wanna jump in and get advantage over the other guy.
Pages are the essential place for businesses to build connections with people. Facebook Pages allows you to express your identity and tell your unique story on Facebook. Now you have the ability to create visually engaging features such as the cover photo, profile picture, views and apps.

What are the dimensions for my Page's cover photo?
Cover photos are 851 pixels wide and 315 pixels tall. If you upload an image that's smaller than these dimensions, it will get stretched to this larger size. The image you upload must be at least 399 pixels wide. So in simple words, in order to get the best quality upload the images in the exact pixels!
What is friend activity on a Facebook Page?
People who visit your Page will have a more personalized experience because they'll see how their friends have interacted with you. For example, if someone tags you in one of their posts or checks in at your location, the people they originally shared with will see these stories highlighted for them on your Facebook Page's timeline.
Timeline for Brands: Timeline for brands features bold imagery, larger stories and the ability to dive deep into a brand's history. Brands will have 30 days to "curate" their Timelines before Facebook makes them automatically visible. Brands can choose to flip the switch before then and several beta partners including American Express, Walmart and Ford have already done so. This new display is currently available to all brands, although brands will have a month to get ready before everyone is switched over on March 30, 2012. Brands will be able to preview the new look and feel before going live.
Coupons: Brands will soon be able to create Nintendo R4 R4i 3ds, Cellulari ANDROID Dual Sim coupons directly in Facebook. These coupons can be posted to the brand's Timeline where users can share them with friends or on their own Timelines, allowing for great organic reach. Brands can also choose to promote coupons to sponsored stories on the Facebook home page.
