Facebook Notes turned into blogging platform

Starting today, Facebook is rolling out an update to make notes on Facebook more beautiful and customizable.

Notes are now an even better way to write a longer post and share with anyone — whether it’s a small group of friends or everyone on Facebook.

With this update, you can add a cover photo that represents what your note is all about. You can caption and resize photos, and format your text into headers, quotes or bullets.

For instance, you can recap your summer vacation or an important time in your life to update the people you care about.

You can voice your opinion on something you saw in the news or write an open letter you want to share with the world. You can share a special recipe with a bulleted list of ingredients and photos of each step.

You’ll be able to create these new notes on the web, and they’re fully viewable on mobile.

To see notes your friends have written or write your own, visit Facebook.com/notes or search “notes” on mobile.
