You&#8217;re not alone. Millions of Facebook users are struggling to figure out this new feature. Here are some tips to help you get started: read about the &#8216;All about me&#8217; page, the Chronology of your life, the status update box, and the privacy settings. After you&#8217;ve learned about these features, you&#8217;ll be ready to start putting them to use.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"All_about_me_page\"><\/span>&#8216;All about me&#8217; page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking to expand your social media presence, creating an &#8216;All about me&#8217; page on Facebook can help. You can use this page to list your achievements and showcase your personality. Include a few pictures on your page to make it more engaging. Your contact information should be prominent and include links to your other social media profiles. Make sure to update your &#8216;About Me&#8217; page regularly. People tend to spend too much time in their personal profiles, so you want them to know what you&#8217;re up to.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chronology_of_your_life\"><\/span>Chronology of your life<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Chronology of your life on Facebook displays information in reverse chronological order. It lets you add life events like buying a house, getting married, or learning a new language. You can edit your timeline, hide certain events, and more. The timeline features five sections and over 40 sub-sections. The more information you have to share, the better. It also helps you remember and put your past into perspective.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Life Events&#8221; feature on Facebook lets you share life moments with friends and family. This is particularly useful if you&#8217;ve experienced a major event, such as quitting smoking or submitting an important paper. If you&#8217;re a frequent Facebook user, you&#8217;ve probably seen the occasional Life Event post. You may not consider sharing all of your life events to the world, but it is fun for others to see your life as a timeline.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Status_update_box\"><\/span>Status update box<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Status update box on Facebook timeline allows you to post updates with links, photos, and videos. Whenever you change your status on Facebook, they appear instantly in your friends&#8217; News Feeds. However, sometimes, Facebook may encounter some issues and your posts may not appear as you would expect. Below are some ways to make the status update appear when you want it to. Read on to learn more. Let us get started. Let&#8217;s get started with the basics.<\/p>\n<p>The first step is to click &#8220;Edit&#8221; next to the status you want to update. Facebook will prompt you to change the status and add a new one. Click &#8220;Post&#8221; and you&#8217;ll see a new status in your profile and those of your friends. You can also remove the status by clicking the pencil icon. A drop-down menu will appear with the option &#8220;Edit Status&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Privacy_settings\"><\/span>Privacy settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to limit who can see what you post on your Timeline on Facebook, you can make it private or public. By default, this setting is public, but you can change this to make sure only people you choose can see your posts. To make it private, you need to edit your settings in each section individually. To do so, click &#8220;Edit Privacy&#8221; under each section. Then, change the &#8220;Who Can See My Timeline&#8221; setting to &#8220;Friends.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You can also change your Privacy settings for your timeline on Facebook by selecting the &#8220;Privacy&#8221; menu. Here, you can choose whether other people can see your profile, what type of posts they can see, or how many comments they can leave. You can also choose what categories of personal information you want to be shared. Facebook also allows users to limit the content of their friends&#8217; timelines. However, it is always a good idea to read through the privacy settings before making changes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Integration_with_other_apps\"><\/span>Integration with other apps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The latest development by Facebook is integration with other apps on your Timeline. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced last fall that a handful of apps would be integrated into the Timeline presentation. One of the early apps that was announced was the Washington Post. Now, more than 60 apps are expected to join this growing list of integrations. To get started, you need to understand your goals and how you plan on using your app to meet those goals.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve installed the app, you&#8217;ll be given the option to post updates to your Timeline. Although the update is automatic, you have the ability to choose which updates are displayed and which ones are hidden. Facebook is constantly adding more apps and should be expanding their integration with different apps. Once more, Facebook should be able to add apps that cater to different interests and types of users. But in the meantime, these features are only for those who want to post from their Timeline.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"298\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"533\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pMqBhRxcvoQ\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Timeline on Facebook?
