Here’s a method that doesn’t work…
I recently had a discussion with some of my Facebook friends about favicons and facebook profile pictures. They were having problems with their company logo not quite fitting in the space available. (50px by 50px )
I’m not sure what help you can already find on the subject of facebook profile pictures, but I thought that now is as good a time as any to try to write some, since:
- I needed to alter the image for our www.anchorgolf.com facebook page ( http://companies.to/anchorgolf ) from this (
50 x 70) to this ( 
50 x 50 ) - I want to start populating this WordPress blog
- Navigate to your company profile page and choose the photos tab. Choose the Profile Pictures.
- Choose Change Profile picture.
- Click on the entry field (or the Browse… button) to upload a picture from your own computer.
- Choose the file you want to upload and click on the Open button.
- With the filename in the entry field you can now click on Upload Picture.
- You then have to move the image around so you can get what you want to see in the thumbnail version.
. - and this is what you get…
The new logo looks OK in the top left
but alongside posts the top and bottom have been cropped.
So how does that improve my image I hear you ask? Well the answer is that it doesn’t. Every time you upload a picture it (facebook) does some scaling which means that the extremities of the image get chopped.
To cut a long story short if you were looking for “How to improve your facebook profile picture” then you’ll notice that I’ve written, and now you’ve read, the wrong blog entry. Sorry about that.
