This is the third set of Facebook cover photos for use in the newish timeline profile pages. I still credit the Orlando Sentinel from whom I borrowed the idea for this.

So, below, you’ll see a few photos I took over the past few years. They are self-proclaimed Daily Bama Blog classics and sized just right for use as Facebook cover photos.

Just click on the photo to enlarge it, then right click (for Windows users) and save the image. We’ll be updating the library over time. Enjoy.
