1. Creating the perfect profile picture
Facebook specs recommend that profile pictures should be 200px wide, while height can vary as needed. What is less documented is how the thumbnail that Facebook uses across the system is generated from this picture. You’ll find the system crops images when generating a thumbnail, losing information around the edge. After some initial testing, we’ve determined that there’s a “title safe” area within all images. So when you create your profile image that’s 200px wide, allow a 12 pixel border around crucial information (such as typography or a logo) to allow for automatic cropping.

What is a Page on Facebook? In their own words, “Facebook created Pages when we noticed that people were trying to connect with brands and famous artists in ways that didn’t quite work on Facebook…Not only can you connect with your favorite artists and businesses, but now you also can show your friends what you care about and recommend by adding Pages to your personal profile.” So, when you become a fan of a brand, a band, a movie, or a person, that information is posted on your wall, and your friends might see it too. You can see which Pages your friends are fans of via the “Info” tab on their profile.  To create a fan page, one simply has to go to facebook.com/pages/create.php and create a new page.

Step 1: Pick a category and name Pick the category that best fits what you’d like to promote on Facebook. Don’t worry if you don’t find a perfect fit, but pick the closest match since you won’t be able to change your category. The name of the Page should be the exact same as the name of the business, organization, product, band, or individual it represents. Click “Create Page.” Step 2: Add a profile picture Click “upload a picture” near the top and upload the graphic or photo that best represents you. Make sure that your brand is clear even as a “thumbnail,” since the image will appear at that reduced size throughout the site (for example, on fans’ profiles and on their friends’ Home pages).

In preparing to teach about Facebook to small businesses, I was asked the question "which types of pages have which information fields?" This is what I put together: | Local | Brand, Product, or Organization | Artist, Band, or Public Figure | BASIC | Address | X | | X | City | X | | X | Zip | X | | X | Phone | X | | X | Hours | X | | | Founded | | X | | Affiliation | | | X | Birthday | | | X | DETAILED | Website | X | X | X | Parking | X | | | Public Transit | X | | | Company Overview | | X | | Mission | | X | | Products | | X | | Personal Info | | | X | Personal Interests | | | X | CONTACT | Email | | | X |
