I didn't need to look far to find people on Maui I knew would be early adopters of the Facebook Timeline.

My FB friend social media expert Peter Liu always comes up with interesting things, and his cover photo reflects his interest in underwater photography.

Liza Pierce, who is the dynamo behind @AMauiBlog, obviously loves Maui.

And I enjoy seeing Mike Neal's magnificent sunset photos, which he posts almost every day.

I knew right away what my first cover photo would be. It was wide enough (at least 720 pixels wide per Facebook) and the right subject matter. It's definitely not of the high-caliber creative quality as those above, but it does illustrate what's important to me.

What about you? What will your cover photo be?

I'll definitely be taking peeks at my FB friends' cover photos, come December 24. Or maybe I should wait until Christmas morning?

P. S. I would have listed a few sites for finding interesting and funny cover photos, but some of those sites are blatant come-ons to buy or they'll throw you into an endless loop. If you find any reputable free sites, let me know. I really like the one I chose for the top of this post. ... Oh, wait, this site looks okay: Facebook Timeline Profile Covers.
