LinkedIn timelineLinkedIn timeline1. Copy article URL 

Copy (Cmd C) the web address of the article into your clipboard.

2. Find ideal picture

You want a  simple picture that relates to your subject. I usually use the picture from above the headline. Find where it is in your Finder. Look at information such as date. That will make it easier to locate it using LinkedIn.

From a LinkedIn page click on Home and then Images. Using information from the Finder in the above paragraph, double click on the name of appropriate image.

Above the picture you just inserted there is space for text. Type a message that will get the visitors’ attention. At the end of it paste (Cmd V) the URL form point #1 above.

Click Post. Notice that the URL has changed to a shortened form.
