If you’re a social media marketer (or community manager or whatever
you call yourself) like me, you probably have this love-hate relationship with
Facebook. With all these changes that happen abruptly with little announcement (or
sometimes none at all), there are times you’d feel you and your at Facebook’s
mercy. Read what the Daily Dot has to say about this (as shared by Mashable). One of the recent changes Page admins are dealing with right now is the
new Page Timeline.

| The new Facebook page layout is right-aligned and simple without looking cluttered. |
Back in March, Facebook asked admins to sign up for the new
layout which, based on my experience and among the fourteen pages I am managing,
only one got it. Last week, Facebook made another announcement about turning
all pages to the new layout by the 12th of June. Of course, admins
have the option of changing their page as soon as the news came out. This
includes a tour of the new layout for admins and also the option to delay the
change. From Facebook,
“Admins that want
to update their Pages before switching to the new design can wait up to two
weeks before making the switch. However, every Page will automatically switch
to the updated design two weeks after the tour has been viewed.”
On the bright side, Facebook should be our ally in
marketing, not the enemy and there are some things we should note with this new
change coming in. What I particularly love about this is that tabs are
positioned in the right places, the top navigation menu and the left column, to
give everyone (both admins and fans) easy access to things they want to see on
the Page.
