Introduction
- Facebook offers a forum for people of all walks of life to post information about themselves for the whole word (or at least their Facebook friends to see). You can publish photos, events, or just random thoughts using the various posting options Facebook provides. Posting is pretty simple, and it shouldn't take long for you to share your photos or words with the fellow Internet users.
Step 1: Create an Account
- To get started, you will need to join Facebook by creating your own account. Just head on over to Facebook.com and fill in the required information. Once you submit the registration form, you will need to check the email address that you gave them, and look for a confirmation message. Click on the link to complete registration and log onto Facebook.
Step 2: Decide What to Post
- Before you post, think about what you would like to share. Do you have a special photo that you would like people to see, or maybe an entire collection of photos? If so, it is easiest to choose your pictures and save them as small to medium files on your computer before uploading. If it is video that you are posting, check to make sure you have it saved in a format that is compatible with Facebook.
- If you are posting thoughts or personal information, think about how you would like to word your writing. Remember that once you have posted something, it is possible that anyone might see it in the future. While you can delete postings on Facebook, nothing placed on the Internet is guaranteed to never be seen again.
Step 3: Post
- There are a variety of places to post on Facebook. Here are some common posting techniques:
- Personal profile info: go to your profile page by clicking on Profile in the top left-hand corner of your homepage. Next to your photo will be some tabs. Click on the one that says Info to create or change the information that appears on your Facebook page.
- Photos: log onto Facebook, and click on Photos on the upper left-hand side of the page. Choose whether you want to create an album, upload a single photo, or take a photo with a webcam. Then follow instructions.
- Video: go to your homepage, and under the list on the upper left-hand side of the page will be a downward pointing arrow next to the word More. Click on it, and Video will appear as an option on the drop-down menu. Click on it, and then upload your video.
- Wall posts: if you want to post a message on someone's wall, go to their profile page. At the top of the page, next to the profile photo, will be the words write something over a text box. Write want you want to post on their wall, and then click Share.
- Profile posts: go to your homepage, and you will see the words What's on your mind? above a text box. Type what you want to post, and then click Share.
