Basic's of Facebook

So, you are new to social networking. If this is the case, then you will no doubt be wondering how on earth you operate the social networking maze that is Facebook.
Fortunately, this site is actually really easy to navigate and utilize once you are made aware of the basic functions that this site has to offer.
The good thing about Facebook is that it allows you to keep in contact with all of the people in your life on a day to day basis. Let’s take a look at some of the most basic functions.
First, you are going to want to learn about your wall. Every Facebook user has a wall built into their profile. This wall is used for your friends to comment on, your status updates, and links and images that have been sent to you.
As well as this, any pictures that you have been tagged in will be displayed on your wall. Your wall is essentially the focal point of your profile, which is why it is important that you understand what it is and what it does. So, now we have gotten that out of the way, what’s next?
Your news feed. The feed is probably the most important thing about Facebook. Your news feed is where your friends status updates and activity on the site is displayed. For example, if one of your friends has updated their status then it will be displayed on your news feed which is on your home page.
It will also show when your friends write on other people’s walls, comment on pictures or links, or add new pictures and videos. This is the page that you will see first when you log into Facebook. By switching between top news and most recent you will be able to see different information.
The next thing that you need to know about is the ‘like’ function. So, imagine one of your friends has updated their status to something that you find funny. Instead of telling them, you can click the ‘like’ button which is displayed under their status. This will then be displayed. If you like a band, then you can like them on the site.
If you like a saying or a quote then you will also be able to click the ‘like’ button. The same principal can be used for pictures or videos.
These are the three basic functions that you should definitely know about before you sign up to Facebook.
As you can see, the basic functions really are quite simple to understand, and very simple to use.
These will help you on your way to connecting with the people in your life and making the most out of the technology on offer today. As long as you know these things, the rest is fairly easy to figure out once you become a regular Facebook user. It will all click into place on its own and you will see how great this site can be if you know how to use it.
