First things first, let's get that profile private!

After signing in, click on Settings and choose Privacy Settings:

Once, you're redirected to the Privacy Settings page, click on profile:


Once you're on the Profile Settings Page, you can select options on how private you want your profile to be:

Save changes, and go back to the Privacy Settings Page:

Select Search.....here you will be able to change how people will be able to find you...if at all.

Choose the setting as to how you want to be searched (if you want to be found).
When you're done click Save Changes. You can go back to the Privacy Settings page and do the same for "News Feed and Wall" and "Applications" if you like to do so.

Now, let's vandalize someone's wall!
To write on someone's wall or add a photo to a wall, you first have to be their friend. After, you get that out the way, you can post away.

First type your friend's name (the one you want to show love to) in the box on the top right hand corner. Facebook will predict whose profile you want to see, (ex. Just type in E) and you will be given a list of your friends who have first or last names starting with E:

Click on the name of the person's who profile you would like to see. You be redirected to that person's profile, where they should have their wall. (*Note: Not everyone has a wall. Some people disable this function).

You can start typing away where it says "Write Something.” It also gives you the option to add a link, photo, video, or any item from an application:

When you're done click share:

You posted a comment or photo on someone's wall..yay!

If you have any other how-to questions or anything to add, feel free to post away.

Re: Facebook for dummies

See same here - but I'm trying. It seams like more of my friends are jumping the myspace bandwagon and hopping over to facebook. So I'm trying.

Re: Facebook for dummies

Yes, thanks Pheonix I needed some help. Just like you said SM everyone seems to be changing teams on me. I still can't get into facebook. It seems like twitter only with a bunch of quizes that I don't want to take. I think I am doing it wrong, everyone else seems to love it.

Re: Facebook for dummies

I know I agree and its not as pretty as myspace - just a boring wall. However I do appreciate this thread because maybe I can figure this out a little more. I have my facebook listed on my profile here is you want to hit me up as we can be the blind leading the blind. Oh I have a twitter too
