Posting

You might want to Post something yourself to your own page/Timeline

This means typing a note onto your page/Timeline that people who visit your page can read

It tells people what you are doing, where you are, how you are feeling etc.

Type whatever you want into this box and

click Post

It will then be Posted on to your page - it will appear on

your page/Timeline

Specific Posts

Activities/Emotions

You might want to say in your Post that you are feeling a

certain way or doing a certain thing

Facebook provides a shortcut for this

Click the Smiley Face and it will bring up a list of activities and

emotions to choose from

Click on one of these options and complete the sentence to

add it to your Post

Places

You can also say that you are in a certain place when Posting,

say if you want to Post that you are at the theatre

Again Facebook provides a shortcut for

this

Click on the Indicator to bring up a search box

Type in the place you want to search for and click on the correct one from the list of options that

appear to add it to your Post

Tagging

Finally, you can tag one of your friends in a Post

This means you can say that you are with them at the

time of Posting

Their name is then added to the Post and people can click on

their name in the Post and go to their page/Timeline

Click on the Head to bring up a list of your Friends, choose who you want or search for them to

add them to your Post

Privacy

You can also choose the Privacy levels for each

Post

You choose whether the Public, your Friends or Just You can see

what you Post

Click where it says Friends to bring up a drop down

menu of options

Once again I recommend you pick

Friends

All of this should be done BEFORE you click

Post

Your turn…

Practise Posting; adding a location, a Friend or an

activity to the Post

Posting on a Friend’s page/Timeline

You can also post on a Friend’s page/Timeline

Choose a friend from the Friends button on your

page/Timeline or search for them and go onto their

page/Timeline

You can now post a message to their Timeline/Wall by typing into the white box that says

Write Something

Posting to their Wall/Timeline will be seen by all of their Friends,

sending them a Private Message will only be seen by them

Liking

You can go to a Friends page/Timeline, read what they

have Posted and like it

This means clicking a button that says Like in order to show that you agree with what they Posted, you found it funny etc.

Basically that you liked it!!

Click where it says Like and they will be Notified that you

Liked what they Posted

You will also be Notified and be able to see if someone

likes what you Post

You can also see how many other people liked the Post and by clicking

on the number, see who they are and go to their page/Timeline

Commenting

You can Comment on what someone has

Posted

Maybe they have Posted that they are at the airport and you want to tell them to have a nice

time on their holiday

Click in the box that says Write a Comment, type what you

want and press Enter

Your Comment will appear below their Post

If someone else has Commented on the Post, you can also Like

that Comment to show them that you Liked what they wrote

Click the Like button under their Comment

They will be Notified that you Liked their

Comment

You can also see how many other people Liked the Comment and by

clicking on the number, see who they are and go to their page/Timeline

Sharing

You can also Share what someone has Posted which means putting

what they have on their page/Timeline onto your own

page/Timeline

Click the Share button to Add the Post to your own

page/Timeline

Liking a Page

Your page is personal

Some pages are for businesses or are fan pages for a famous person

You can click Like on these pages

This is similar to friend request - once you Like a page, updates from it will appear on your Newsfeed

Search for the business or fanpage that you want in the search box in the banner and

press Enter

Click on the relevant search result to go to

that Page

Click the Like button

Updates from this page will now appear on your

Newsfeed
