People who haven\u2019t logged into facebook in a while might be in for a surprise as the new profile which is known as timeline has been rolled out.\u00a0 Timeline will present photos, links and items shared from the past in chronological order.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The traditional profile has changed to Timeline which is essentially a scrapbook of all your postings and other peoples postings about you on Facebook, this is in comparison to the traditional profile which presented your most recent activities on Facebook and accessing older posts was time consuming and cumbersome so most people never bothered.\u00a0 It was in fact one of the disadvantages of Facebook in that it only presented you with recent activity.<\/p>\n

This has all changed, Timeline allows people to jump to the older material more quickly. Unfortunately it doesn’t necessarily take into account the context in which you shared material a number of years ago and the fact some of the photos or opinions you shared, were for your group of friends at that time and represented the attitudes you held at that time.\u00a0 Facebook users might be in for a slight surprise when they realize all their comments made in the full belief of being right or worse under the influence of alcohol will now be accessible to all their friends, a veritable display of skeletons from the cupboard.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is a list of things you might consider doing to clean out the cupboard I found them on http:\/\/www.theage.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2022 You can change privacy settings on individual items to control who has access, or at least hide them so only you can see them.<\/p>\n

\u2022 You can change the date on a post.<\/p>\n

\u2022 For major events in your life, you can click on a star to feature them more prominently.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Instead of your traditional profile photo\u2014 you can add what Facebook calls a cover photo. It’s the image that will splash across the top. Keep in mind the dimensions of the image are different and will require a more landscape o wide screen image.<\/p>\n

\u2022 You can add things before you joined Facebook, back to when you were born, which can give a more complete picture of yourself.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you are not sure what works or what doesn\u2019t and what should be hidden or ask your friends who have more experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
