Facebook just announced a new layout on the profile page called "Timeline". As of this date, only Developers can be able to use Timeline on their profile pages. Right now, I am creating this post to give you tricks on how to activate your Facebook Timeline without waiting for the invite.

Step 1. Type on "developer" at the Search Box of your Facebook and hit the very first result. It has 1.5M active users.

Step 2. Click "Allow" on the pop up screen of the Developer App.

Step 3. You'll now be taken to the Developer's App or if not, try to check on the left side of your screen then click on it.

Step 4. Create a "New App" and give it a namespace. Remember, namespace should not contain capital letters, symbols and spaces. You don't really have to worry about the name because nobody will be viewing it.

Step 5. Click on the "Open Graph" at the left panel of the screen.

Step 6. You will now have to define an action for your app. Put an action word on the first box and the subject on the second box. Example: First Box = eat; Second Box = sandwich. After doing this, click "Get Started".

Step 7. On the next page, just keep on clicking Save Changes and Next until you reach "Save and Finish".

Step 8. After 2-3 minutes, go back to your Facebook's profile page and you should see an invite at the top of the page asking you to use "Timeline". Click on "Get it now" to start using Timeline.

Once you've done this 8 simple steps, you should now be viewing your Facebook profile page with Timeline Layout just like the picture at the top. Enjoy and don't forget to share this tutorial to your friends!
