2. Click the Change Cover Button and choose from the different options to select your new Cover Image.

Profile Picture:

2. Click the Edit Profile Picture and choose from the different options to select your new Profile picture.

Application Icons:

2. It will drop down all of your Application Icons.
3. Hover over one of the Application Icons and click the pin graphic.
4. Click Edit Settings.
5. Click the “Change” link in the Custom Tab Image. It will take you to a new FB page.
6. Hover over the Image and click the Edit Button (or upload a new image from scratch).
7. Click the Upload button and select the graphic you’d like to add.
8. Click save (if it let’s you save). If it doesn’t let you save. “X” out of that page after your picture has uploaded and then click the save button on your FB Page.

Milestone Picture:
A milestone picture is something that’s uploaded into your FB Page Feed. Make sure it matches the dimensions listed above. Upload your picture like normal. Then once it’s on your FB Page, select the drop down arrow in the top right corner of the actual thread post (what just got added to your FB Page feed). Select Highlight. Ta-da!

Pinned Picture:
If you’d like to pin an image to the top of your wall that will stay there, upload an image as previously mentioned (using the dimensions listed above). Click that drop down arrow and choose Pin Post.

And there you have it. You can “beautify” your Facebook Page.
