Some Facebook Tips

Recently Facebook made changes to what is seen in our news feeds. The default setting is to show only posts by friends you have most recently interacted with. Perhaps that is why it seems you are seeing only posts from a certain group and others seem to have gone silent...

To correct this just go to "Most Recent" click on it. You will then see a small arrow, click on that then select "Edit Options" Click on "show posts from" and change the option to "All of your friends and pages"

To read more on this please read this post from another blog on this topic Read More Here

Another recent change is in the security area.   Take a look up in the address bar..look for the URL address.
You will see either http:// or https://.  If you do not see https:// then you are not on a secured session. This can make it easier to be hacked.

You can change this by going to Account, then Account Settings, then Account Security, Click Change, Check the box that says Secure Browsing, Click Save.  This will allow you to have secure browsing whenever possible is what it states.  Some features such as games, networkedblogs etc will ask you to switch to an unsecured setting to use the application but it does revert back on your next session. So one you sign out and then sign back in you will be on a secured session again.



So for now those are the only changes I have been to find in surfing the blogosphere on facebook changes and updates.
