How to Create a Facebook Layout
The growth of Facebook over the last five years is amazing! It seems like not only do all your friends now have Facebook profiles, but your mom and dad have profiles, your mom and dad's friends have profiles, and your friends' moms and dads have profiles.
With so many users now on Facebook, many people want a way to customize their personal profiles and stand out from the crowd.
Luckily, creating personalized Facebook layouts is possible and can be done quite easily.
Read on to learn more information on how to create a Facebook layout or background.
Currently, the only way to add personalization and customization to your Facebook profile is by installing a browser plug-in and getting all your friends to install it too.
Once installed, you will have access to many, many different pre-made Facebook layouts as well as the Facebook layout creation tool.
Only your friends that install the browser plug-in can see your special layouts, so it's important to make sure they install it too.
This may seem inconvenient, but it's actually a benefit! If you don't want certain people to see your layout, they won't see it without the plug-in.
It's also great for people who want to be your friend on Facebook but would rather stick to the default Facebook view.
Once you have installed the layout plug-in, the next step is to register for a user account.
By registering for a user account, you will be able to save all the cool Facebook layouts that you have created in your own personal library.
You can also share your layout with your friends as well as the rest of the community in the public gallery.
Once you have a user account you can begin the process of creating a Facebook layout that expresses your true personality, character and style, and customize Facebook to your heart's content! 1.
Select a Color Theme The first step in creating your Facebook background or layout is to choose a color theme for the layout.
This includes colors for the title bar, background, left side and/or right side.
The possibilities are endless for which colors you choose, just remember that you're going to want the colors to match any additional images that you use.
2.
Upload Custom Images That brings us to step number two: picking the images, photos or graphics of your choice.
You can pick personal photos of yourself, your family, your friends or even your dog; or pick out some images of your favorite band, actor or actress, singers, movie or celebrity crush.
You can also use clip art of graphics to correspond with your theme, such as hearts for a Valentine's Day layout or pumpkins for a Halloween Facebook layout.
Once uploaded, the photo, image or graphic will become a repeat pattern that displays behind your Facebook profile, or separate images can be used for the right side, left side, background or title bar.
3.
Add Your Finishing Touches Step three is the last finishing touches, including text color and transparency options for images and the overall layout.
Once you are completely happy with the layout, choose a name for it and save and publish it.
Once you save and publish, you can see a preview of what the layout looks like on the "create a Facebook layout" page, or go back to your Facebook profile and simply refresh the page to view your all new layout.
That's it, you're done! It's truly as easy as 1-2-3 to create your own special layout for your Facebook page.
