Facebook Cover page

Facebook logo
Almost we all got addicted to google and facebook.

I thought of sharing few things which will make the look and feel of your Facebook timeline.

Most important thing we all have to understood is we are presenting ourself  infront of the world through some available technology.

Okay, lets now look in to the designing of Facebook cover page.

What are the dimensions for my Page's cover photo?

Cover photos are 851 pixels wide and 315 pixels tall. If you upload an image that's smaller than these dimensions, it will get stretched to this larger size. The image you upload must be at least 399 pixels wide.

To get the fastest load times for your Page, upload an sRGB JPG file that's 851 pixels wide, 315 pixels tall and less than 100 kilobytes. For images with your logo or text-based content, you may get a higher quality result by using a PNG file. 
You don't know designing ? No problem

Do you always search like "facebook coverpage design" in google search,
save the same in your computer and uploading the same.  Hahha... most of us do the same right... 

Ok there are ways you can do it in a better way. There is an editor tool available online called PIXLR  I think PIXLR owner inspired by steve jobs, that's why he kept the name as PIXAR .

You can access this editor tool by - " http://pixlr.com/editor/".

Enjoy :)





Bought a New book - Who Says Elephants Can't Dance..



Got to know about a guy Louis V. Gerstner in my IIM satellite class. The guy who turned the company IBM one of the software giant.

In my early carrier I  used to admire about IBM, the reason is its presence in different verticals, successfully holding the core component MAINFRAMES without leaving it's grip in the market.

I still remember the days i:e I think 2002 to 2004 in chennai all most every where in  Nelson Manickam Road so called hub for trainings floaded with Mainframe training courses.  Each course were charged around 17 - 20 K. (COBOL,DB2, CICS )these things gave breakthrough to so many freshers and also who is looking for the carrier shift.

Alright , lets come back to the point, Decided to study the case study of  MR. Louis V. Gerstner,as a proper Indian,  decided to search for the free PDF's available in the web cloud. Not even a single proper PDF I have got, I can't blame my search strings as well, cause I trust google search strings only.

So decided to go and search in AMAZON is any books available about this guy. OOOHHH a book called Who Says Elephant can't Dance. I went through the preview, I started liking the way it took me inside the book.

So decided to buy the book.

Book Description:
