Step 1: Log in to Facebook.
Step 2: You will need to enable developer mode if you haven’t already. Simply type “Developer†in the search box and click on the top result.
Step 3: Go to the developer app, which can be found here should Facebook not automatically redirect you.
Step 4: Create a new app (don’t fret, nobody will be able to see it), and give it a name and namespace (no CAPS allowed with the namespace).
Step 5: Once that’s done, click on the “Get Started using open graph†under the “Open Graph†header.
Step 6: You will then be asked to create a test action for your app, like “read†a “bookâ€, or as I personally opted for, “row†a “boatâ€.
Step 7: Next, you’ll be met with a config page of your selected action. Navigate through that page and the next three pages of settings.
Step 8: Once you have gone through the last page and hit “Save and Finishâ€, after a couple of minutes, an invite to try Timeline should appear at the top of your homescreen.
Click it, and you will be met with a page which seemingly covers every aspect of your Facebook life since the day you joined.
