Facebook Privacy

As Facebook grows, so do our number of friends using Facebook. Many times we may want to confirm a friendship with someone but don't necessarily want to share our entire personal life with this person.
To accommodate this, Facebook allows for a privacy setting known as grouping. By using groups you can place your friends into categories and then edit the types of information they are allowed to see on your Facebook page. Here is a post that I found which was helpful in explaining how to do this.
For those of you still having issues with this:

1) Hover over 'settings' at the top right, and select 'privacy settings' from the dropdown menu.

2) Select 'Profile' from the list.

3) You cannot set profile to restricted access, however every other tab on this page can be restricted.

4a) Go down the list and select 'customize' on each dropdown tab.
4b) When you select customize, at the bottom it shows an 'except these people' option.
4c) Select individuals or an entire group to restrict viewing access to the different types on information.

Hope this helps to answer your questions.

Thanksgiving

It's amazing how fast the time flies! It seems like it was just last week we were all cramming around the couch for our (annual?) family picture. Thanksgiving is only 6 weeks off and now would be a great time to start talking about plans (what dishes to bring, if we need a white shirt...etc.). 

Please reply to this post with all your comments and suggestions.
