You may have noticed a new
Status feature appearing at the top of your page, This is a little like the
Status feature on other networks where you can regularly post important short notes, comments or updates on what you are doing. This is limited to 140 characters.
The updates will appear at the top of your page and in our
Latest Activity on the home page. So this is a good way to get a short message out to everyone to keep them updated.
However, you do have some control over this in your
Privacy Settings as well. You can turn this off so your updates do not appear in our
Latest Activity if you prefer.
If you have customized your page you also have control over the background color used. You will find this as a new option in the customization options page where you set most other colors.
For longer posts please still use
Your Blog as it offers far more features for layout, formatting and of course inclusion of photos.
As usual, please enjoy, but do keep our
Community Guidelines in mind when using this feature.
