my timeline would still be invisible to others, right? I'll show up in search but it will still be the same profile: just a photo and my name.

Is that correct?

Edited to add: am I the only one that gets annoyed by the fact that Facebook NEVER informs its users about changes, that we always have to hear about them from some third party??
