It’s Fix Your Facebook Fotos month here in dekeVille, and this week, Deke starts us off with a free Deke’s Techniques movie in which he reviews all the current (that’s 2015) specs for Facebook profile and cover images.

Note that most of the internet, including Facebook’s own documentation, relies on specs from 2012. So if you really want control over—-

a) the way your profile picture looks in your timeline (the big one when you first post it), and

b) the way your cover photo looks in your timeline (when you first post it), and

c) the way the two images interact at the top of your page, then

—-you’ll want to get the dekeReport on what those pixel dimensions actually are and what they can be when you upload them.

And, because it’s Deke, you’ll get every last meticulous detail from this video, right down to the dimensions of that gradient that Facebook applies to the bottom of your cover photo so that your name pops off the screen.

All of this information will serve us well in the coming weeks techniques when Deke shows you how to perfect the interaction between the two images, allowing your friends to be amazed at how you lined them up so perfectly. Or in Deke’s case, how he looks to be arising like a Roman god from the River Avon in Bath. This screen shot from Deke’s actual timeline demonstrates how this month’s meticulous magic is going to materialize.

Accept no substitute specs here, my friends, Deke’s the one to bring your FB page to 2015 standards.
