Writing about all of the things I love in life. Mostly about the industries that are the heartbeat of my life: Journalism, Public Relations and Social Media.

I am a recent graduate of Arizona State University. I received a Bachelor of the Arts in Journalism and Mass Communication from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism, where I specialized in Public Relations. I also had a related area in French and I studied Social Media extensively.

There are so many new features that came out with Facebook timeline. I think one of the most important are cover photos. Cover photos for Facebook timeline are the newest way to customize your Facebook, however most people have not been using this newest feature to its fullest. 

Your cover photo says a lot about you. It is giving your most creative peers the opportunity to make their timeline stand out, which is why it is so important to really think about what your cover photo says about you.

This kind of creativity is great. However, there is one thing that I think is more important: keeping your cover photo fresh and up-to-date. This is why I think you should think of your cover photo as your weekly or monthly status. 

This concept is how businesses should think of their Facebook timelines. 

I must admit, my cover photo is not the greatest, which is why I am giving myself a cover photo challenge. I want to work in the music industry and music is my life. Starting this week, I will be choosing a band / musician to highlight on my Facebook cover photo and write about on my blog. This is my attempt to connect all of my social media platforms, as well as start the routine of updating my Facebook, as well as all of my social media, on a consistent basis. 

A further explanation of my challenge, including my reason (musically), can be found on my blog, Going Deaf. You can also read my weekly explanations of why I chose an artist on my blog every week. 

How are you going to keep your timeline fresh and creative?
