With an ever updating Facebook, some may find it hard to keep up.  Here’s a tip to keep you on the forefront.

Has this ever happened to you… You log into facebook, and on your news feed you notice all the updates from your friends, but its the same friends day after day.  It seems like out of your entire Facebook social network of friends, a handful are posting and the rest are nowhere to be found.  Then a good friend asks if you noticed their recent post, but you have no idea what they are talking about.  After searching your news feed, you are still in the dark.  What the heck is going on?

Well, there’s an app for that.  Not really, but there is a reason and a solution.

Basically, with the new Facebook profiles, there is a default setting for your news feed that is set to show posts from “friends and pages you interact with most”.  So, if you have been posting and have seen no responses, it’s not a sign that you have lost your social relevance or that your friends have been ignoring you.  You and many like you have been having the same experience.

Let’s Get It Fixed

Follow these easy steps and open up the doors to the friends you’ve been missing.

Step 1: Log into your account.  You are now on your News Feed page.

Step 2: Scroll to the bottom of that page.  Find the link “Edit Options” and click.

Step 3: A window titled “Edit Your News Feed Settings” will open.  At the top of that window there is a “Show posts from:” section.  Click the little arrow next to the default setting displayed.  You will now see two options.  Select the one labeled “All of your friends and pages”.

Step 4: Click on “Save”.

It’s that simple.  You will now start to see all posts from all friends that you are connected to, unless you choose not to.  I am sure you noticed the option to “Hide posts from:”.  In that section it’s easy to select friends to ignore, who’s daily lunch experience you would prefer not to know, by simply typing their name in the box.
