Facebook Changes

I am seeing many posts from Facebook pals saying that they are annoyed and/or confused about the new look that Facebook rolled out this week. After playing around a bit on my new layout, I have come to the conclusion that the changes are not so drastic.

The first major change is on the homepage:
Any requests or invitations you have received will appear across the top of your homepage now.



















- On the left, your friend groups will be listed (if you group your friends)
- Your Newsfeed, your Networks and Public Profiles will also be here

TIP: move these groups around by clicking and dragging them to change the order around

- Just beneath that, your Photos, Links, Video and Applications links are listed

TIP: grouping your friends will allow you to pull the newsfeed for each group on your homepage - if you have a lot of connections, this is a nice way to manage your newsfeed

The middle of the page looks basically the same, but the Highlights on the right-side are new. The Highlights section will show you recent photos, notes, applications and group news from your connections.

The other major change with the new Facebook layout is on your profile:


















- for those of you posting links to your listings here, this can still be done, just click once in the "Write something" box to reveal the - add link, add photo, add video options

- while this is not new, it seems more prominent to me on the new layout ... you can click to show your posts, your friends posts or both

- all of your other tabs within your profile will function the same here

- it also appears to me that the pictures and text are now a bit larger on both the wall & homepage

I challenge you to play around with the new layout and try not to get frustrated too quickly. Have a great weekend!!!
