You don't need mad graphic design or Photoshop skills to create a fun Facebook cover. Of course, if you have mad graphic design or Photoshop skills, you may go grab a cup of java. For the rest of us, there is an easy way to create a cover collage of your favorite pictures. See...here's mine...
I'm going to show you how easy it is to do in Picasa.
Click on CREATE, then drop to PICTURE COLLAGE.
Under the SETTINGS tab, go down to PAGE FORMAT and open ADD CUSTOM ASPECT RATIO.
For the dimensions, enter 851 and 315, these are the dimensions for the Facebook cover. Give it a name, like Facebook cover and click OK.
You're all set! After you select your photos to collage, change the PAGE FORMAT to your new Facebook collage setting. As usual, you can move and change photos just like you would for any other collage setting.
You can play around with the settings like the grid spacing, add text, whatevs!
Now, if you do have mad skills, check out these and more cool covers from Social Media Examiner.

This sounds pretty simple. I've been hesitant to make one because I thought it was too high tech. Silly me!! Thanks for braving the waters for us Dawn.
