Facelift Your Facebook

by: Kristie Scott

Attention Facebook addicts! (I love how I say that as I just momentarily spent more time creeping through Facebook than I needed to for a whole month). I'm going to talk to you about the funnest way to play with your Facebook (like we need any more excuses to waste time on it). But oh well! It's fun, and I enjoy wasting time doing it anyway, so maybe you will too.
Enter the Facebook banner: your dedicated strip of profile space created to add even more "you" to your profile page.

Since roughly 5 months ago, when the newly designed profile page was created, it added a row of 5 of the most recently tagged pictures of you beside your profile picture. Since this time, the option of loading a Facebook banner to be displayed in place of these pictures has created a new way for us users to brand ourselves. Pretty nifty, eh? At least I think so.
Anything from photography effects, to lyrics, to TV shows/movies, to fashion brands, to just plain funny catch-phrases, we can add some personality to our profiles.
..Such as one of my personal favourites...

You can make banners even more individualized by making your very OWN. Pick the background or background colour, upload a picture, select your text effect/style/colour, and say whatever you want!
Do it. Define yourself.
Even with the pre-made banners to choose from, you can be funny, cute, girly, sarcastic, nostalgic, delicious,...practically whatever you want.
Visit any of these sites to find the banner thats waiting for you (or waiting to be created):
