Timeline for Pages: Updating Both Tab Images

The new Facebook Timeline for Pages is available! 

All Fan Page Admins with Timeline now have the opportunity to update your tab large custom icon that shows beneath your Timeline cover.   It will display at 111 x 74 pixels.

Those with our paid plans can also continue to customize the 16 x 16 small tab icon.

UPDATE: TabSite has integrated the ability to change the Large Tab Image (111 x 74) in the TabSite Manager for all users.

Here’s how to change the Tab Custom Image on Facebook:

Go to your fan page and click on the arrow to open your tab navigation:  (Looks like you need at least 5 apps in order to get the “arrow” to open the app navigation pane to get the pencil icon to edit the large icon image. Whew! Or go to your fan page Admin, select Apps, find the App and select Edit Settings, then the image link to change.)

Next find the tab you want to change the large tab image (icon) on and hover your mouse over the top right of that current  image.  A pencil icon will appear.  Click this pencil as shown below.

From the dropdown menu, select “Edit Settings” near the bottom of the list.

This opens a box where you will select “Change” next to the Custom Tab Image.

This opens a new browser Window / Tab as shown below where you click “Change” and then “Browse” and upload.  Note: You can upload a JPG, GIF, or PNG file. If the image is larger than 111 x 74 pixels, it will be resized and converted,so we recommend you aim for exactly 111 x 74 pixels in size.

So, GET CREATIVE!  You’ll need to drive traffic with a visual cue!
