Steps to Make a Facebook Profile

Filed Under: All Posts, Guest Bloggers on August 6, 2008

Follow these instructions to make your own Facebook profile.

1. Go to www.facebook.com

2. In the blue box on the right hand side fill in name, email, password and birthday. Make sure that your password is something that you will easily remember (or write it down) and that it is at least eight letters. Also, you can disable where it says your birthday (as in the year or all of it later).

3. Type the security check words in the box and click “sign up.”

4. It will then make you confirm your email address, so either click on the “go to” box or go to your email inbox.

5. Open the email and click on the link. It will open a new window so that you can add friends from your email already on Facebook. You can either do this now or you can wait until later.

6. Once you have confirmed your email address, go back to the sign up page and type in your Facebook password.

7. It will then take you through steps to fill out your profile. For example, it will ask you for you high school, college, and company information. You do not have to fill in each question. Remember that people may be able to access your profile, so any information you do not wish to share with everyone should not go on this profile.

8. Join a network. To do so, you can type in the name of your town. If you are from a smaller town, it will give you networks close to you. For instance, Stamford, NE has the choice of being in the Kearney network or the North Platte network.

9. Once you have joined, you can either find friends or follow step by step instructions, or you can view and edit your profile. You can edit your profile by clicking on the edit tab at the top of the page between profile and friends.

The easiest way to learn more about Facebook is to take some time to play around on it. See what you like and what you don’t like. However, if time is limited or if you are having difficulties, you can click on the help button at the bottom right hand side of the page or this link http://www.facebook.com/help.php.

Becoming a GROW Nebraska Fan

Once you have created a profile you can become a GROW Nebraska fan. We have two corporate pages, GROW Nebraska (about the non-profit organization) and GROW Nebraska General Stores (that highlights GROW stores and products). To do so, type GROW Nebraska in the search engine on the top left hand side. Click on “Become a Fan” when the box appears.

If you would like to make a corporate page for your business, we will have step by step instructions available by request. My suggestion is to make a profile first and get to know the program. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
