FaceBook

FaceBook is actually easier to use than Blogger. It is a lean site set up only for social networking and not designed after the diary. It is very easy to use because of this. If you want to pimp up your site, you will find it more difficult to do. You will notice that other sites are usually "plain Jane."

A note about a quirk in FaceBook is that to get to your wall (where public messages are displayed) you need to click on your name on the top right side of the page. After all the setup is done the wall will come up each time you enter FaceBook.  Also note that they are sending you email that you should read. (If you do not know how to get your email, try Mail2Web. You will need your address and password.)

You will begin to receive emails asking you to be a friend. My suggestion is to decline them, unless you know them. ( The teenager love to have hundreds of "friends")

If you belong to a group, be sure you friend them. 

FaceBook Help is very complete so we will not spend so much time in class on building our page, Rather, we will network with each other since this is what FaceBook is all about.

For those who desire to fancy up their page, I can make suggestions or you can Google your questions. Information about FaceBook is plentiful.
