Design Demands Multimedia Content
Mulimedia Wins by 14%
Change #1:
COMMENTING
2 COLUMNS FOR POSTS
DEFAULTS TO “HIGHLIGHTS” VIEW
NOT IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER…
For example :
Did this screengrab on March 23 2012
But I see Lee Marshall’spost from July 2011 here at the top…
( based on “affinity” so my view will be different than another admin’s view)
Posts by others grouped together here
It’s a condensed version
Click See All to use …
No way to chronologically mix “Posts by Others” with “Posts by WHNT” in the same view
Omits the WHNT posts, so you only see other people. (This only changes what YOU see).
CHANGE YOUR VIEW TO “POSTS BY OTHERS”
OR, USE ADMIN PANEL TO “SEE ALL” NOTIFICATIONS
Change #2:
PRIVATE MESSAGES
Pages can’t send messages, you can only respond to users that have already contacted you.
You can choose to disable this function
Fans Can Direct Message Pages Privately
Change #3:
HIGHLIGHTING(making widescreen)
PICK THE STORY
HOVER AND CLICK THE STAR TO HIGHLIGHT
You Can Star Posts to Make Widescreen
NOW IT’S EXPANDED TO FILL BOTH COLUMNS
Change #4:
PINNING TO THE TOP
• Go to the really important post
• Hover over the pencil to get the drop down
• Select PIN TO TOP
You Can Pin An Important Post to Top
• The story is now at the top ‐‐ and will stay there for 7 days
• Marked with small, orange flag
• Only one pin at a time
• Unpins automatically
You Can Pin An Important Post to Top
Change #5:
APP BOXES
Still permitted, just cannot be the default landing
page
No More Default Landing Pages, Like Gates
Now, You have App Boxes
And You Can Change the Order
And the most obvious change #6:
COVER PHOTOS
BEHIND THE SCENES / ACTION SHOTS
EMOTIVE
HUMANIZING
CREATIVE
• No references to Facebook features such as “Like this Page”
• No purchase or pricing info such as “40% off”
• No calls to action like “Download at our website”
• No contact information such as web address or phone number
Rules for Cover Photos
local example ‐ personality
local example ‐ show and tell
local example ‐ clarity
local example ‐ nostalgic
