Many of you will know that Facebook is again updating the layout for Pages. You may have it already, and if you don't, rest assured it is on the way!

The change most likely to affect your Page is what will happen to your Cover. While the overall dimensions are not changing, your page name will appear on top of your image, in reverse (white) type. So if your image is white or light at the bottom (as mine is!), or if you have text on the image already, you'll need to make some changes. Also, the like, following and share buttons will appear on top of your cover image.

Here's Jon's new chart, updated.
