opportunities for a better life
you
Facebook is one of the most popular
social networking sites in the world in
this video I'm going to show you how to
sign up and also how to navigate your
account to get started go to
facebook.com and fill out the form you
see here you'll need to enter your first
and last name and then your email
address you'll also need a good strong
password one that's easy for you to
remember but hard for other people to
guess
avoid using really obvious passwords
like your name predictable patterns or
the word password the more random your
password is the better next enter your
birthday and gender this may seem like a
lot of personal information to share but
don't worry if you're concerned about
privacy you can always change your
settings later to limit what other
people can see when you're ready click
the button that says sign up and a page
will appear that says welcome to
Facebook all you have to do now is
confirm your email address afterwards
you'll be able to access all the
features on the site just go to your
email find the message that Facebook
sent you and follow the instructions
congratulations now you have a Facebook
account one of the first things you'll
want to do is start exploring so you can
learn your way around the site for
example this is your home page which is
the first thing you'll see whenever you
sign in it includes the publisher where
you can post status updates links to
other parts of the site
and finally your news feed this is where
you'll see updates from the people
you're friends with and also the pages
you follow let's take a look at my
profile next your profile also known as
your timeline is your personal page on
Facebook it displays your photos school
and work info and anything else that
you've shared friends and family can
also share posts on your timeline for
example to wish you a happy birthday at
the top of the page you'll find features
like the search bar messages
notifications and more you can access
these anytime no matter where you are in
Facebook for example watch what happens
when we go back to the homepage all of
the options are still there do you have
a mobile device like a smartphone or a
tablet then you might want to try the
Facebook app the app lets you do almost
everything that you can do on the
desktop version from reading updates to
checking notifications the interface is
different but still pretty similar to
the features on the website so with a
little practice you should be able to
use it in no time for example here's the
Facebook app for the iPhone you can
easily scroll up and down your newsfeed
and access other common features here
like messages and a link back to your
newsfeed
the more button lets you navigate to
other parts of the app including your
timeline events and more the Android app
has a similar button for the very same
purpose this time you'll find it in the
upper left corner just tap or swipe
right and you can access almost all the
features you're used to finding on the
website now you have an account and
everything you need to get started with
Facebook both the desktop version and
the app make it extremely easy to keep
in touch soon it will start to feel like
second nature as you get more and more
experience with your account
