Privacy Settings and How people see you on facebook!!!

Ok, I know my first hesitation with the mass email list was having to friend a ton of people I didn't know. I'm not so keen on letting the world see what I did for my birthday or my son's football games. LOL So with the help of facebook this is what I came up with.

I have a separate group in the friends settings just for sorority life (soro life) for short. Each person I friend I put into that group. In the privacy settings of facebook you can determine how much information is seen.

By doing this you don't have to spend time un-friending people and honestly I've found my sisters to have very funny and interesting information that comes over the feed.

How to set this up-

-Put your cursor over Friends on the blue Facebook Tab, then click all friends

-Click on the create new list button

-Put in your name of your new list

-Next all of your friends will appear. Click on the people you want in this list. (you will see a blue check in a box when they are selected)

-Once you are finished selecting everyone, scroll down and click the create list button" and you are done.

-When you accept new request, under the new sisters name you will see the "add to list" button with a drop down or when you send a request you can put themin the group at that time as well with the drop down

-Click the drop down and the name of your list will appear

-Select the name and then hit the confirm button. That person will be added to the list automatically.


-Now that the list is created

-Put your cursor on settings on the facebook toolbar and wait for the drop down

-Select the privacy settings option (please note this is how I have my settings done, please chose the options that best fit your needs).

-Click on Profile

-I've made every option on this page set up for "only friends"

-Once you have chosen your options click on "edit custom settings" under each option except "profile"

-Go to the field for "except these people" and type in the name of your list. then hit ok.

-A red symbol will appear letting you know that everyone in this group can not view this information. (please note you have to do this for every option on the profile page)

After this you are done.

Now if you want to check to see if it's working

-On this same page near the top you will see this option- "See how a friend sees your profile:"

-Enter a random name of a friend in the list you just created and hit enter

-The system will generate a copy of the version of your profile that is open to this person. If you've missed something just go back and check all your options.

*******Eeveryone will still be able to see your profile pictures but not your picture album*********
