I’ve noticed that a friend of mine has a really cool Facebook display with a picture at the top and a timeline of events. How can I change my account to do the same?

The mode you’re talking about is called “Timeline” and it’s a funky new way of using Facebook. Getting it is extremely simple: To get timeline, simply go to the Introducing Timeline page and click Get It Now.

There you go, as easy as pie. Much easier than making a welding cable stick to a wall, huh? I’ve been using Timeline for a few weeks now, and I’ve found it works well. Recommended!
