How to Do a Photo Banner on Facebook

Eliminate the Facebook banner by clicking "x" on every photo offered by Facebook.

Every personal Facebook profile has a banner of five photos that appear horizontally above the user's wall. By default, Facebook includes the five photos that you were most recently tagged in on the banner, and updates the banner whenever you are tagged in a new photo. Luckily, if you are unhappy with how your banner appears, it is possible to easily manage the photos that are included. If you remove all of the images you are tagged in from the banner, Facebook starts pulling photos from your own albums as replacements.

Instructions

1. Hover your mouse over one of the current photos in the banner, and click on the "x" in the top corner to remove it. Whenever you delete one photo, Facebook automatically adds another one. Continue the process until you are content with the current arrangement.

2. Restore the banner to its original settings by hovering your mouse over your profile picture, and clicking the "Change Picture" link. On the next screen, click the "Unhide all" icon next to "Row of photos at the top of profile."

3. Allow others to see your photo banner by making sure each of the albums from which the photos are derived are set to the "Everyone" privacy setting. Change the privacy setting for an album by clicking the "Account" link at the top of your Facebook screen, and choosing "Privacy Settings" from the drop-down menu. Click "Customize settings" and, on the next screen, select "Edit privacy settings for existing photo albums and videos." Each photo album has its own privacy settings menu, located beneath the album's cover photo. Change the privacy for images you are tagged in from the "Photos and videos you're tagged in" section of the "Customize settings" menu.
