Well as most of you know by now Facebook changed around last night how it treats private information. Those who were private are now finding they are not so private.

First think you need to do is see what your profile looks like to non friends. So how do you do that - easy. At the very top click on Settings > Privacy Settings > Profile Information > then click on the "Preview My Profile" button

once you do that you can see what your profile looks like to others. It will look like this:

Now if you have certain settings that some see it one way and some another you can type their name in above and view how they see it (in the pink box above).

Ok once you view your profile you might see a whole lot of items showing. Here is how to adjust your privacy settings, first you need to click on the "settings" up top (top right) that is where all of your settings will be. Here is a overview of what you will see and where to find each setting.

Your basic settings (info) are found under "Account Settings"

Now if your looking to chance who sees what then you really want to go "Privacy Settings"

Now most of your Privacy settings will be here: Settings > Privacy Settings > Profile Information (again this is also where you can view your profile how non friends see it)

Now on my profile I do allow my "pages" to show (basically the profiles I "fanned"). If you do not want this or you want to pick and choose which ones show you can do that. Here is how you do that: Settings > Application Settings From there you have to go though each one and choose who you want to see. Yes this can take some time. You can speed it up by clicking on the "X" and just removing them all together (face it some are probably crap ones).
So any questions? Make sure you bookmark this page and check back as I'm sure we will find new ways to protect your profile. Mean while check out these other helpful facebook threads: FaceBook
