Need help setting up your Facebook Account? Here is a easy to follow instruction manual to set up your Facebook Account and start enjoying social media right away.

1. The ABC’s of Facebook
Setting up your Facebook Page

2. Let’s Sign Up –
Go to Facebook.com and fill in the fields under the Sign Up……….

3. Once you hit the sign up button, you will get a security check code.
Don’t worry if you mess it up, it will give you another one to try or if
can’t read it at all ----- just click on the “Try Different Words” link
provided.
After you get your security code entered, you will automatically be
sent to Step 1 on your Facebook set up.

4. Please note:
Keep the account button in mind for logging out, editing your setting,
edit your privacy settings, create lists of friends (like work friends,
church friends).

5. On Step 2 of your Facebook Set up Page, you have the opportunity
to enter some information about yourself. You can add to or change this
information anytime once your account is set up. Start by entering
things like your location and schools. This will help Facebook send
people to you that you might know based on your info.

6. Once you save and continue from entering some personal information –
Facebook Set Up will prompt you to enter your profile picture.
Your picture is important. It helps others find you by recognizing
you right away when they search. Some people like to put “avatars” or
images that represent them instead of personal picture. You will have
a chance to add more pictures in your profile later on. It’s fun to add
as many pictures as you can to show your personality and share with
friends and family.

7. When you click on “Upload a Photo” Facebook will open a window
for you to browse your own computer for your favorites pics. You can
also take a picture of yourself right from your webcam if you want!!!
Select you picture……………….

8. After you hit Save and Continue from your photo upload, you
now have your Facebook page set up. Facebook will send you a
message that you need to confirm your email address.
You can do that here, at this point, or you can do it later, but you will
need to do it before you sign into Facebook again.

9. Your confirmation email will look something like this:
The confirmation code is a new feature for Facebook and I do not
think they are requiring yet, but just in case make a note of it.

10. Once you click on the link from your email – you will be directed
to Facebook again and may need to sign back in, unless you are already
logged in.
We are now on the Welcome Page of Facebook after you have set up
your account. Click on “Edit Profile” to add more info about yourself.

11. Take some time to play around with entering good profile
information into your profile.
Now that you have set some info up – you may want to check
your privacy settings, which is how you control who see’s your
information within your Facebook page. Facebook set’s you up
with a recommended privacy setting, but you have options to
change it to anything you are comfortable with.

13. Privacy Settings
You may only want friends (which are people that you
have agreed to allow on your page) – to view your contact
information. Usually this standard set up works for most people, but
some people prefer very private settings for their Facebook. You may
want very strict privacy settings if you allow your teen to set up a
Facebook page.

14. Ok – let’s take a look at the navigation on the Facebook Page.
Once you get used to these links and tabs, it will become super
easy for you to navigate and update your Facebook page.
Take some time to click around the page.

15. Profile Page
This page is the Profile Page. I got here by clicking on “Profile”
on the upper tab. Spend some time clicking around on this page to
see what pops up.
There is really no limit to the amount of pictures you can store on
your facebook page. Some people use this as their primary picture sharing
tool. You can upload video, links or music as well. Later, when you
get to be an expert, there are many fun things to do like, “tag” or
identify people in your photos, even if they are not your friends.
Tagging people in your photos notifies them they have been “tagged!”

16. Now that we have learned how to navigate around Facebook – Let’s start
adding some friends. There are several ways to invite friends to
your Facebook page, and once you get going, Facebook will recommend
friends for you! This is why it’s called a social network. One of the easiest
ways to find friends is to search for them.
Now – you try it!

17. Look! I found who I was looking for (sometimes you don’t)
but don’t worry – there are plenty more where that came
from and you can use their email address to find them as
well. You can do that with the Find Friends link in the left
navigation.
Notice how my search returned several results – do a
little research to make sure this is the friend you wanted.

18. If you add a friend from your search, you will get a
pop up window to verify that you want to send this person
a friend request. Once sent, your friend will get a request
like this…..

19. When your friend accepts – you will get notified
(see upper notification icons).
You will immediately be able to see your friends
most recent wall posts and they will see yours. Now it’s
time to say hi to your friend!

20. I clicked on my friend’s avatar (picture) or their name to
go to their wall so I could write something directly
to them.

21. Finally – I decide I want to post a message on my wall
to tell my friends what’s up!
Notice how while posting a comment on your wall to
share with your friends, you also have the option to add a
photo, link or video as a part of your comment.

22. You now have a Facebook account!
Have fun!
