1. I love love love my current cover photo on my business page! It is my logo. I created it in Pages and it was SUPER simple!
   I followed these instructions (http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=6228500) and then tweaked it for facebook!
   Its really nice to have a personal sign up like that!

   • What’s your business page URL? I’d love to have a look-see. x

2. Thanks!! I love your blog!!

   • Thank you! x

3. LOVE Florabella.

4. Thank you! I totally need an update.

5. Mine is all 30 photos of #photoadayjune made in photoshop

   • Nice! x

6. Great post..Love Pic Monkey and Florabella… Cheers

7. I have a couple of macarons at https://www.facebook.com/garydavidlum

8. Oops, macarons on my personal page https://www.facebook.com/garydlum and yorkshire puddings on https://www.facebook.com/garydavidlum It’s too early lol

9. Thanks for sharing i tried the Pic Monkey but then wanted to use as my cover for facebook and couldn’t get it to go there?? computer dummy…lol any input would be awesome

   • Just hover over the bottom right hand corner of your current cover photo on your Facebook page, and it will come up with ‘Change Cover’. Just upload the new photo from your computer. x

10. Which program did you use to create the cover photo at the top of the page with all the little photos?

    • Yes, exactly, how did you make the cover photo at the top of this page here, I love all the photo squares too?!! Is that something you did in Photoshop? Love it!

      • Yes, I wrote about it in this post. I just cropped an Instagram poster that I’d made (in Printsgram) and then added the banner. So in photoshop. 🙂

        • Thanks Chantelle – I just wasn’t sure how you made the poster in the first place, now I see it. I’ve never heard of Pintsgram, you’re introducing me to a whole new world, it’s so exciting, and confusing!! I just found the site online, now to figure out how to actually make one, what size A1, A3, A4, oh the possibilities are endless – thank you for all the cool ideas, who knew all of this was out there, I love it?! <3<3<3

11. Rubber is another picture editor. Just like picnik!

    • Oh thank you. I’ll search it and try it. x

12. Thank you Chantelle for another great, useful post! I’ll try something out for my page on the weekend. I envy your creativity!

13. Very cool, thanks for sharing, I have wondered how you do those pretty things. Do they work on Mac too? Or are there more super spunky apps? Ta lovely x

    • I do everything on my Mac, so yes definitely work! xx

14. time for an update me thinks…..i just have to say i just love that you give valuable info to us that can help us better our own pages you are such a delight…………thanks loads chantelle lisa xx

    • Thanks Lisa. It’s a pleasure! x

15. Thanks for sharing! I updated my facebook profile with a fun little collage.

16. I need to update EVERYTHING. Maybe that can be today’s project. Thanks for the kick up the rear.

17. Hi Chantelle, could you do a tutorial on how to change/ customise a FB tab button pic? 🙂

    Ai @ Sakura Haruka

    • Absolutely. Coming up. x

18. thanks 🙂

19. Awesome ideas!!! Thanks!!!

20. I just updated my cover photo last night with a photo from our beach trip that I edited in picmonkey.
    Love yours!

21. Thank you for inspiring me to make better use of all the photos I take. Love your blog and loving photo a day am going to attempt to do the whole month this time.

22. I’ve just used Picasa to create a collage for my Facebook. There are quite a few settings and you can make it the size you need (850×315) by choosing the custom option. I’m trying some of the others too.

23. OMG!!! Just tried PicMonkey, sooo cool, made a new header for my blog with it, off to try Florabella now!

24. Thanks Chantelle for this great post! I had a little play around today, with picmonkey, and made a new cover pic for my FB page. It’s not quite as fancy pants as i would like (I don’t have photoshop) but hopefully it’s not too bad for a first effort! xx

    • Good on you! x

25. Thank You so much for this post! I have just had a little play and it is fun!

26. wow! Such a great post and Im so heading to Florabella. New in here, Chantelle and loving it 🙂

27. wow!!! instagram collage fb pic is awesome idea…!!!
    i’ve changed (created) my fb cover ever but i’ll try it.
    thanks sharing great idea!!!

28. I only have a personal page right now. I want to set up a page for my blog. I have a photo of my fave band as my cover photo on FB.

29. Tried Printstagram after your last post about collages and they’re no longer free but charge to make up the posters, not just printing… or at least, I couldn’t figure out how to get me a free collage of my instagram pics. User error is always a big possibility with me :/

    • Hmm! I’m going to have to investigate! I hope they don’t make people pay now. 🙁

    • It still looks free to me, try here: http://printsgram.com/ x

      • That looks better. I was trying http://printstagr.am/ for some reason, which charge :/

30. Thanks for the info, I make my coverflow page with Instagram, they create great photos with what you have in your library.

31. I have one for my Style profile, which is the header I use at my blog, and one for my business page which I just used the same pic as on my home page of my website and added my name next to it. I did it all in a clip art software I bought years ago. And it comes in very handy.

32. I never knew such tools existed! Will definitely play around with it.

33. Ohh Chantelle..I just love how you share these creative finds. Look forward to having a play…the iPhone Facebook cover app is ok…but not as great as these that you have shared. Ps…new blog page looks awesome!

34. I just have my blog banner atm. Might have to have a play around on Florabella later on

35. Oh, I love PicMonkey.

    Statigram.com has a really easy tool for making a FB cover photo… that’s what I used for my personal FB page.

36. This is brilliant, thanks for passing on PicMonkey. It is making my life oh-so much easier right now.

37. As always thank you so much!

38. Could you do a tutorial on how to do the pic like the one above? The one with all the squares.

39. Great post Chantelle 🙂
    I used PicMonkey (as I don’t have photoshop) and I now have a nice and inviting cover pic on my fb business page and my profile pic is no longer blurry! The fb pic dimensions were also a great help 🙂

40. Hi Chantelle,

    Have been playing around with my fb cover today thanks! facebook.com/lakehousewriter

41. What website did you use to make yours with so many pictures? Thanks for the post!

42. I recently just re-sized mine after reading a post on ohmyhandmade.com it’s crazy how much of a difference it makes 🙂 mine is currently paper airplanes that I made for a Valentines Day shoot https://www.facebook.com/DreamingofStepford

43. This is great. We just up dated our MooBear cover which we had to tweak and then realign the text so the profile pic didn’t cover it… Frustrating. I wanted to do something new and fun for my Over It! Page as she needs up dating so I’ll be calling past some of your links for sure. My profile pic is of my family running around our front yard taken by the local paper hehe… Thanks for the inspiration girl!!

    Xo Steph
