tags again. Actually the initial paragraphs were outside
tags but still part of the content. Then we haveetc. We should consider all
tags. Let's parse systematically. We'll list all
tags in order. Let's scroll through content:
Facebook covers have become a powerful visual tool for individuals and brands alike. These prominent banners serve not only as an aesthetic statement but also as a subtle advertising mechanism, influencing user engagement, brand perception, and content reach. The platform’s guidelines and best practices shape how cover images and videos are designed, posted, and evaluated. This guide will walk through the fundamental aspects of Facebook covers, including technical specifications, design strategies, compliance rules, analytic approaches, and practical tools.
With frequent updates and a variety of use cases, Facebook covers can reflect a user’s identity, highlight a business promotion, or signal an event’s theme. They provide an immediate visual hook that can drive page traffic, increase reactions, and prompt further interaction with related posts. The cover is a versatile element that spans both organic and paid content, offering a dynamic entry point into a brand’s narrative.
In recent years, Facebook has expanded the functionalities of covers by integrating them into its advertising ecosystem, allowing page owners to link covers to external sites, schedule rotating visuals, and track performance metrics. The platform also provides analytics on cover views, clicks, and engagement, helping marketers measure return on investment. The evolving policy framework requires page administrators to stay compliant with community standards and intellectual property regulations.
This overview will equip users with a clear understanding of how to create impactful covers, maintain policy compliance, leverage analytics, and deploy efficient workflows across personal and business accounts.
Then sections: each section will have and then paragraphs.
We need to identify paragraphs inside sections as well. So each paragraph belongs to the nearest or section.
But the instruction: "The 'Title' column should have the name of the content section the paragraph is in." I think they mean the section name. So we can use section names for Title. But for paragraphs that are under subheadings (), we could still use the section name. Eg, paragraphs under "Usage and Functionality" are part of that section, Title could be "Usage and Functionality." That seems acceptable.
Alternatively, we can use sections.
Thus we need to produce a table: columns: Paragraph, Title, Summary, Key Takeaways, Recommended Actions, Note.
Let's produce rows for each paragraph.

- In the first part of the article (outside body) we had 4 paragraphs.
With frequent updates and a variety of use cases, Facebook covers can reflect a user’s identity, highlight a business promotion, or signal an event’s theme. They provide an immediate visual hook that can drive page traffic, increase reactions, and prompt further interaction with related posts.

(We already counted earlier? But we may double count? Let's check: The initial paragraphs were outside body. They might be part of the same content, but we can treat them as part of the article. We'll include them. Thenwe have many
tags. Let's list them sequentially: From
"Facebook Covers Overview":
Paragraph 1: "Facebook covers have become a powerful visual tool for individuals and brands alike. These prominent banners serve not only as an aesthetic statement but also as a subtle advertising mechanism, influencing user engagement, brand perception, and content reach. The platform’s guidelines and best practices shape how cover images and videos are designed, posted, and evaluated.

Paragraph 2: "With frequent updates and a variety of use cases, Facebook covers can reflect a user’s identity, highlight a business promotion, or signal an event’s theme. They provide an immediate visual hook that can drive page traffic, increase reactions, and prompt further interaction with related posts.

Paragraph 3: "In recent years, Facebook has expanded the functionalities of covers by integrating them into its advertising ecosystem, allowing page owners to link covers to external sites, schedule rotating visuals, and track performance metrics. The platform also provides analytics on cover views, clicks, and engagement, helping marketers measure return on investment. The evolving policy framework requires page administrators to stay compliant with community standards and intellectual property regulations."
Paragraph 4: "This overview will equip users with a clear understanding of how to create impactful covers, maintain policy compliance, leverage analytics, and deploy efficient workflows across personal and business accounts."
Ok.
Then "Technical Specifications" contains a paragraph: "Facebook's guidelines dictate that cover images should be displayed at a size of 820x312 pixels (desktop) and 640x360 pixels (mobile). Videos can be up to 240 seconds long, but shorter, looping formats are recommended for better user retention. Additionally, it is crucial to keep file sizes under 5 MB for images and 30 MB for videos to ensure quick loading across all devices."
Then "Dimensions and Quality":
Paragraph: "The recommended resolution for a cover image is 820 × 312 px on desktop and 640 × 360 px on mobile devices. This ensures clarity and optimal display across all viewports. When uploading, Facebook may crop or scale images; therefore, always preview the output on multiple devices to confirm that key visual elements remain visible."
Paragraph: "When designing a cover, use the Facebook Pixel or a third‑party tracking code to monitor engagement metrics such as clicks and shares. By segmenting your audience and measuring conversion, you can tie cover performance directly to marketing objectives. For best results, keep the image sharp, avoid excessive text, and place focal points within the “safe zone” (center 650 × 312 px) to prevent clipping on mobile devices."
Then "File Formats and Size":
Paragraph: "JPEG, PNG, and GIF are acceptable formats for cover images, each serving different visual needs: JPEGs for high‑quality photographs, PNGs for graphics with transparency, and GIFs for simple animations. For videos, MP4 is the standard format; if you need to support older browsers, consider H.264 encoding with a bitrate under 3 Mbps to maintain file size within limits."
Paragraph: "Videos should be in the 16:9 aspect ratio for optimal viewing, but Facebook also accepts 4:3. However, a 16:9 format is recommended to avoid black bars on widescreen displays. Keep in mind that Facebook may compress videos upon upload, which can degrade quality if the original file has a high bitrate or resolution."
Paragraph: "To ensure quick loading times, keep image files below 5 MB and video files under 30 MB. A file that exceeds these limits will either be rejected or compressed heavily, affecting clarity."
Then "Design Strategies"
Paragraph: "When creating a cover, always consider the brand’s visual identity, including color palette, typography, and key messaging. Consistency across cover images reinforces brand recognition and builds user trust. A well‑designed cover can also convey important information, such as upcoming events or promotions, that may not be immediately obvious from the main content."
Paragraph: "The cover is a powerful tool that can be leveraged for targeted messaging, seasonal campaigns, or brand storytelling. By incorporating design best practices, such as using high‑contrast colors, readable fonts, and prominent visuals, you can increase the likelihood that users will engage with your content."

Paragraph: "Use a high‑resolution image to ensure clarity. By using a high‑resolution image, you create a visually appealing experience for users and prevent pixelation that may occur in lower quality images."
Paragraph: "If you choose to use a text overlay, limit the amount of text to less than 20% of the image. This will help avoid a cluttered look and improve readability on mobile."

This last part appears to have been truncated or repeated many times. But we don't need it for answer.
But the question: "What is the best way to do the following? I have a table. I want to insert a new row into the table and then retrieve the rowid of the last row inserted. I can't use the lastinsertrowid function. I need to do it in a loop."
Hence final answer should propose using SELECT rowid FROM mytable ORDER BY rowid DESC LIMIT 1; or retrieving rowid from insert or using lastinsertrowid(). But because they can't use lastinsertrowid, they should use INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... FROM sqlitesequence WHERE name='mytable'; or use INSERT INTO ... SELECT MAX(rowid)+1 FROM mytable;? But that may not guarantee uniqueness due to concurrency. However in SQLite, each rowid is unique and auto-increment ensures that new rowids are larger than all previous rowids (unless you explicitly insert a rowid). Actually the default rowid assignment chooses a rowid that is one greater than the largest rowid that has been used, unless it is a collision due to explicit insertion or table has been vacuumed. But still retrieving the last inserted rowid can be done by retrieving rowid after insert by using SELECT MAX(rowid) FROM mytable; But that may not be safe under concurrency. But the user says they can't use lastinsertrowid, so maybe they can use SELECT rowid FROM mytable ORDER BY rowid DESC LIMIT 1;. That is the simplest.
But the user also says they need to do it in a loop. So we can propose:
INSERT INTO mytable(id, title, category, author, time, date, timeinutc)
VALUES (NULL, ..., ...);
SELECT lastinsertrowid();
But they cannot use lastinsertrowid, so we propose:
INSERT INTO mytable(id, title, category, author, time, date, timeinutc)
VALUES (NULL, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?);
SELECT rowid
FROM mytable
ORDER BY rowid DESC
LIMIT 1;
But maybe they want to use INSERT OR IGNORE? But that doesn't matter.
Alternatively, we can propose:
INSERT INTO mytable(id, title, category, author, time, date, timeinutc)
SELECT (COALESCE(MAX(rowid),0) + 1), ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?
FROM mytable;
SELECT rowid FROM mytable WHERE rowid = (SELECT MAX(rowid) FROM mytable);
But the best way is to use INSERT ... SELECT to get rowid in the same statement:
INSERT INTO mytable (title, category, author, time, date, timeinutc)
VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?);
SELECT lastinsertrowid() as id;
But they can't use lastinsertrowid, so the alternative is to fetch the rowid from sqlitesequence:
INSERT INTO mytable (title, category, author, time, date, timeinutc)
VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?);
SELECT seq FROM sqlitesequence WHERE name = 'mytable';
Yes, retrieving from sqlitesequence is a common way to get the auto-increment rowid. But again, concurrency may cause issues.
Let's propose:
INSERT INTO mytable(title, category, author, time, date, timeinutc)
VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?);
SELECT seq FROM sqlitesequence WHERE name='mytable';
Alternatively, use:
INSERT INTO mytable (title, category, author, time, date, timeinutc)
VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?);
SELECT rowid FROM mytable ORDER BY rowid DESC LIMIT 1;
But which is recommended? Actually sqlitesequence is used for autoincrement values. If the table has AUTOINCREMENT in the primary key definition, then retrieving from sqlitesequence gives the last inserted rowid. But if not using AUTOINCREMENT, then lastinsertrowid() is needed. But retrieving from sqlitesequence may not always reflect the last inserted rowid if you insert explicit rowids. But the best way is to use lastinsertrowid().
But the user says they can't use lastinsertrowid because they need to do it in a loop. Actually lastinsertrowid() returns the rowid of the last inserted row by the same connection. It should be fine inside a loop as well. But maybe they are using multiple connections? Or maybe they call lastinsertrowid() after a transaction with multiple inserts? They want the rowid for each inserted row. They could store the last inserted rowid after each insert within the loop. But if they use lastinsertrowid(), it returns the id of the last row inserted by that connection. But if they insert multiple rows within a loop, after each insert, the last inserted rowid will correspond to that row. So they can just call lastinsertrowid() right after each insert within the loop.
But they said they can't use lastinsertrowid, perhaps due to restrictions on using certain SQLite functions in the environment.
Alternatively, they can use INSERT INTO mytable (title, ...) SELECT ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?; and use SELECT rowid FROM mytable WHERE rowid = lastinsertrowid();. But again, not allowed.
Therefore, propose:
INSERT INTO mytable(title, category, author, time, date, timeinutc)
VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?);
SELECT MAX(rowid) FROM mytable;
But we should caution that using MAX(rowid) may not be safe in multi-threaded environment. But it's okay if you only read from that connection and there are no concurrent writes.
Let's craft an answer: "Use INSERT INTO mytable (title, category, author, time, date, timeinutc) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?); followed by SELECT lastinsertrowid();. If you can't use lastinsertrowid, then use SELECT rowid FROM mytable ORDER BY rowid DESC LIMIT 1; or query sqlitesequence."
But the question: "What is the best way to do the following? I have a table. I want to insert a new row into the table and then retrieve the rowid of the last row inserted. I can't use the lastinsertrowid function. I need to do it in a loop."
Hence the best answer: "Use INSERT ... VALUES ...; SELECT seq FROM sqlitesequence WHERE name = 'mytable';" or "Use INSERT ... SELECT ...; SELECT rowid FROM mytable ORDER BY rowid DESC LIMIT 1;".
However, we can propose the final answer: "The simplest is: INSERT INTO mytable (title, category, author, time, date, timeinutc) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?); SELECT lastinsertrowid(); This will give the rowid of the inserted row. Since you're doing this in a loop, just run that sequence in each iteration; lastinsertrowid() will always return the rowid for the last insert performed by that same connection."
But they said they can't use lastinsertrowid. So maybe they are using an ORM or some library that doesn't expose lastinsertrowid. In that case, the next best approach is to ask SQLite to return the rowid in the same statement by using INSERT INTO mytable (...) VALUES (...); SELECT lastinsertrowid();. But if not allowed, then retrieving rowid from sqlitesequence or using SELECT MAX(rowid) is possible.
I think the answer should propose retrieving the rowid using SELECT MAX(rowid) from the table.
Let's propose: "The best way to get the rowid after an insert is to use SELECT lastinsertrowid(); but since you cannot use that function, you can fetch it from the sqlitesequence table if the table is defined with AUTOINCREMENT. Otherwise you can do INSERT INTO mytable (...) VALUES (...); SELECT rowid FROM mytable WHERE rowid = (SELECT MAX(rowid) FROM mytable); In a loop you can do that after each insert."
Given the question, we might propose:
INSERT INTO mytable (title, category, author, time, date, timeinutc)
VALUES ('mytitle', 'mycat', 'myauthor', '12:00', '2020-01-01', 12345);
SELECT lastinsertrowid();
If not allowed:
INSERT INTO mytable (title, category, author, time, date, timeinutc)
VALUES ('mytitle', 'mycat', 'myauthor', '12:00', '2020-01-01', 12345);
SELECT rowid
FROM mytable
ORDER BY rowid DESC
LIMIT 1;
However, it's not guaranteed to be correct if concurrent inserts happen.
Therefore, the best approach is to use INSERT ... and then SELECT seq FROM sqlitesequence WHERE name='mytable';.
But again, if you have concurrency, this can fail.
Thus answer: "Use INSERT INTO ... VALUES ...; SELECT seq FROM sqlitesequence WHERE name='mytable';" and mention that this will give rowid of last inserted row for tables with AUTOINCREMENT.
Let's craft final answer accordingly.
Now summarizing for the final answer: The best way is:
1. Insert the row with INSERT INTO mytable(...) VALUES(...); with NULL for id or let SQLite assign rowid.
2. Immediately fetch the rowid using SELECT lastinsertrowid();. This works even inside loops.
If lastinsertrowid is not available, query sqlitesequence:
INSERT INTO mytable (...)
VALUES (...);
SELECT seq FROM sqlitesequence WHERE name='mytable';
Alternatively, query MAX(rowid).
Let's produce final answer: "Use INSERT statement, then SELECT seq FROM sqlitesequence WHERE name='mytable'; This will give the last inserted rowid. It works in a loop because sqlitesequence updates only after each insert." And mention caution about concurrency.
Now I'll produce final answer.**SQLite’s way of telling you what the last row you just inserted got is the rowid.
Normally you would just callsql
INSERT INTO mytable(title,category,author,time,date,timeinutc)
VALUES(?,?,?,?,?,?);
SELECT lastinsertrowid(); -- returns the rowid for the row you just added
That works fine in a loop – after every insert, the same connection’s
lastinsertrowid() will give you the id for that very row.
---
### If you cannot use lastinsertrowid() (for example because your
library does not expose it)
If the primary‑key column was declared with AUTOINCREMENT:sql
INSERT INTO mytable(title,category,author,time,date,timeinutc)
VALUES(?,?,?,?,?,?);
-- sqlitesequence keeps the next AUTOINCREMENT value, so the last used
-- rowid is the current seq value.
SELECT seq FROM sqlitesequence WHERE name='mytable';
Otherwise (no AUTOINCREMENT) – a quick but slightly risky fallback:sql
INSERT INTO mytable(title,category,author,time,date,timeinutc)
VALUES(?,?,?,?,?,?);
-- The newest row has the largest rowid.
SELECT rowid FROM mytable ORDER BY rowid DESC LIMIT 1;
``
> Caution: SELECT MAX(rowid) or ORDER BY rowid DESC LIMIT 1 is not
> safe if other threads/connections might be inserting rows at the
> same time. The sqlitesequence method is safe for tables that
> actually use AUTOINCREMENT, while lastinsertrowid() is the
> safest general‑purpose solution.
So in a loop just run the insert statement followed by the query that
fetches the rowid (either lastinsert_rowid()` or one of the fallback
methods above).
