Facebook Cover Photos - Three Essential Things Every User Should Know

The Facebook Cover Photos, just like blog headers, are meant to grab the attention of the users that visit a Facebook profile. If the cover is unique and personalized, anyone who views a person's page will certainly learn more about him/her, or at least about that person's tastes.

If you do not have a cover on your profile, and you want to customize your timeline but you do not know where to start from, here are some basic things about cover photos that any user should know:

A. What are Facebook Cover Photos?

A cover is a large photo above your profile picture that is made public, meaning that anyone who visits your timeline can see it, unlike other photos with adjustable privacy settings. The difference between profile pictures and the cover photo is that the former is next to your name, making it easier for other users to recognize you, while the latter is at the top of your timeline and is a unique representation of who you are. In fact, when adding a cover photo, you are asked to pick a matchless image from your life and not an image that is to be found on another user's timeline, or images with commercial purpose or copyright-infringing content.

B. How to add Facebook Cover Photos

In order to add create a timeline banner you must follow these steps:

1. Go to the timeline on your profile. 2. Click on "add a cover". 3. Select a picture you like and upload it or just pick one from your albums. 4. Click on the image and drag it up or down until it is where you want it to be. 5. Do not forget to save the changes.

C. What is the cover size?

Your cover image must be of 851 x 315 pixels - if you upload a larger or smaller photo, it will be scaled to an 851 pixel width. However, if you try to upload an image narrower than 720 pixels, you will be requested to choose a different one. The profile photo will be resized to 125 x 125 pixels. It is best to crop the photos yourself, so they do not seem somewhat awkward to you when they are automatically resized.

As you can see, it is really not that difficult to set Facebook Photo Covers - choose the proper picture, make a few clicks and that's it.

Why Every Step In Planning Your Home Construction Is Exciting?

Who would not be excited to plan his own home building? A big majority of us would agree that this is a process where every member of the family would be excited to share his or her idea. The planning of a home construction is a very challenging work.

Everyone who desires to build his own home can participate in its planning. The planning activity depends on the idea you have in mind. The bigger the house you would like to build, the bigger the plan and work you will need to undertake.

Steps To Take In Planning

Before you can start you planning session, the idea or the need of building a house must have been fixed already. After identifying your specific requirement of a home building project, sit down and follow these steps.

1. Finalize your preference on the kind of building you would like to build. If you are just starting a family, a single detached bungalow could be the right choice. However, your requirement might be different if you have already several grown-up kids who will need individual rooms. This situation will of course demand the thought of building a two story home or a one story that will utilize all available spaces in your lot.

2. Decide on the civil works and architectural design of the building. What would be the material component of your house? Will it be built with light materials, concrete or a combination of both? What would be its architectural designs? The materials to be incorporated from floor to ceiling must be chosen and finalized.

3. Prepare the technical specifications of the home building materials. You need to identify the specific materials to be used to serve as guide during the construction process. The brand name, technical descriptions, measurements, and the material suppliers as well as their locations need identification.

4. Make a draft of the building plans complete with details. After a careful review of your requirements on the house, start drafting the construction plans with supporting plans. Cross-check your technical specifications and the plans for every aspect of the work.

5. Prepare an estimated cost of the house base on current prices with allowance for price increase during the actual construction. Compute the direct cost of materials and labor, overhead and contractor's profit plus taxes. Use a cost sheet per item of work so that every work is accounted for in the preparation of the cost estimates.

6. Review the construction plans vis-a-vis the cost estimates prior to finalizing the two.

If you lack the technical capabilities to do some of the above steps, consult a technical person who is well-versed on the topics, but don't drop out of the planning process. The excitement of each process is worth participating!
