how to activate facebook timeline




A lot of people have been wondering how to personalize facebook like the picture on top. I won't tell a hundred story about the so called facebook timeline. I'm just gonna go ahead and teach you how.


1. To enable Facebook Timeline, the first step you need to do is to activate the Developer status for your account. To do this, login to your Facebook account and type “developer” into the Facebook search bar. Click on the first result, and add the app 




2. You will be asked to grant permissions for the app to access your basic information like name, profile picture, user ID and so on. Click on “Allow” and you will be taken to the Developer page. Click on the “Create New App” button. Provide a display name, app namespace and click “Continue”


3. You will be taken to the Developer page. Click on the “Create New App” button.


4. Provide a display name, app namespace and click “Continue”


3. Now you will be taken to your app’s main settings page. On the left sidebar, click the “Open Graph” link.




4. You have to enter the action and object in order create a test action for your app, like “watch” a “movie” or “read” a book”.




5. On the next screen, just scroll down to the bottom and click “Save Changes and Next”. It might take a couple of minutes to save, so be patient until it loads the next page. 




6. Continue this for the next two pages. When you finished with the saving process, you will land on a page something like this


7. Now go back to your Facebook home screen and you will notice an invite on top of the page to try the Timeline feature. Click on “Get it now” and you’re done.
