Go live in Facebook Timeline

This is it..!! The much awaited timeline is now open for everyone. It was open for some special souls for testing and feedback till now.

Here is a screenshot of my timeline…!!

My Timeline

All you need to do is to go to www.facebook.com/about/timeline and Try it out yourself. It is going Live for all on 22nd of December whether you go and try it out now or not.

You can now do the following things in timeline

Preview your timeline

Once you get timeline, you’ll have 7 days before anyone else can see it. This gives you a chance to get your timeline looking the way you want before other people see it.

Decide what to highlight

To help you get started, your timeline includes some of your top photos and stories. Hide or highlight whatever you want and add anything that’s missing.

Control who sees your stuff

Only the people you originally shared a post with can see it on your timeline. If you want, you can go back and change who sees a post, delete it or just hide it from your timeline.

This is copied from that Intro page from facebook..!! So what are you waiting for.!! Check it out..!!

Windows Live Writer

Let me share something about Windows Writer. This is a tool included in windows live essentials pack, which may be preinstalled in newer versions of windows7. This tool lets you write your posts offline. You can review your post, while you write. This is a screenshot of the working window of this awesome tool.

First of all you have to setup/configure your windows live writer. There are only some simple steps to start writing your post offline. This app will ask for your blog address, username and password. Then it will connect to the blog address given., and download some necessary files needed to determine the template style of your blog.

There are plug-ins so that you can insert links, pictures, photo album, table, maps, tags, videos etc in your post. You can save a local draft of the post in your system for further editing, or can save it in the blog online and edit it later/then.  With just a click on the ‘preview’ tab , you can preview your post offline. You can view the source html code if you click on the source tab.

Using windows live writer, you can add as many blogs as you can. , save any number of drafts, view your dashboard and lot more.

At last , you can set the categories and tags in the bottom of the tool interface. You can even set the publish date of the post using this awesome tool.

If you are a blogger, this app will be very useful for you. You can download the web setup of Windows Live Essentials 2011 from Microsoft Windows Website.

As I am writing this, I am researching , and I am finding out the specialities , cons and pros of this app. When offline editing is done , you can directly publish the post to your blog.

KEEP A SMILE AND LET OTHERS SMILE
