Want some Great Examples?
I started to through some samples of great Brand Timelines from Facebook on this post but as I was looking for articles to give me clues to who had already switched I found no post. Okay I found a couple posts but I was surprised at how hard it was to find good examples and to find who had switched over. So I decided to write a second post listing up to 60 different Timelines you should check out. So make sure and check out The Ultimate List of 60 Amazing Brand Timelines on Facebook.

I entered for a friend who has a FB page. She’s totally freaked over the FB Timeline change. I’m an admin on her page to help her out, but I don’t do a very good job. 🙂
I’m so glad you entered her, I love that you are helping her out!
Definitely a cool idea for a contest – thanks for running it and I hope I win!
Love it! My little blog could definitely use some help to show off who we are on fb.
Would love to have someone with more brain cells than me to help me out! Thanks for the contest.
Awesome Pepper ~ I love the new fanpages, but I never had a landing page on my FB page. I can understand some of the hard feelings with losing the ability to choose a landing page. 🙁
I think I’d want my timeline to look like my blog design 🙂
That would be fun to do!
I would like it to have the colors of my blog, but I like the simple background that you’ve used on yours.
Oh I love the colors on your blog, very nice!
i would like a theme that has simple but very meaningful.
Such helpful information here, Pepper! I have my business facebook page but I have never really studied how to use it. Thank you so much!
I would love a new design with some pictures of me and the things I love!
