Birthday
A birthday page, not a birthday post.
Everyone gets the same wall of statuses on their birthday. Send one link that opens like an envelope and has only their name in it.
What goes on it.
Photos, in your order.
The ones from your camera roll they have never seen. Location data comes out of every file before it goes up.
The year, if you know it.
Turning 26 reads differently to turning 60. Leave it out and the page never mentions age at all.
One message, room to write.
Longer than a caption and nobody else is reading it.
Questions.
- Can I send it before the day?
- Yes. The page goes live the moment you publish, so most people build it the night before and send it at midnight.
- What if I do not know the year they were born?
- Leave it blank. The day is the only part the page needs.
- Does it stay up after their birthday?
- Yes. There is no expiry — one payment of GHS 20 and the link works for good.
