Facebook Timeline and Profile Public Release Date
There’s been a lot of buzz about the new Facebook layout and timeline. I finally enabled the new timeline through the developer release. In doing so, it looks like the public release of the new Facebook timeline and profile is October 6.
Update: Obviously, the new template hasn’t been released yet to the public. At one point, there was some conflict with a lawsuit. I also believe Facebook is making sure they get it right with this rollout. The update rearranges users profile pages significantly.
This was the message displayed on my profile page as I was editing the new profile layout.
Of course I hit publish now. I’m not waiting a whole week! And of course Facebook let me know just developers could see my newly enabled Facebook profile and timeline.
If you’re interested in getting the new Facebook timeline and profile through the developer release, I followed these steps on Mashable. Now, if you’re interested in customizing the new Facebook timeline, here are the dimensions of the Facebook cover and a template to download.

I have recently thrown myself into SEO because I believe any great web designer should understand it. So, to learn more on Susan, I turned to Google and wanted to share what I saw. Not on Susan, but in the search results.
Facebook Security Check When Tagging in Posts
I was just doing a post from my personal profile and tagged Evad Design in it. When I clicked to share, Facebook had a security check pop up. This looks to be something new they’ve implemented – I haven’t seen this before.
Why a Security Check
Spam. From Facebook “This is a standard security test that we use to prevent spammers from creating false accounts and spamming users” Yeah, I’ll click okay. Thanks for watch my back Facebook. Have you ever visited a Facebook page that you liked and saw a bunch of posts that didn’t really make sense? Or wall posts that did a bunch of advertising? That’s exactly the stuff they are aiming to crack down on.
It’s about time. Take a look.
I know that mustache is hard to avoid but have you seen this message before when tagging a friend or page?
