Cleaning up your Facebook Profile

September 14th, 2007 by Connie

Is it a mess? Are there applications everywhere? Is your right column really long requiring the visitor to scroll? Have you succumbed to Facebook addiction & you’re ready to take control again? (well at least of the appearance! we won’t go into time management here ).

Here are some tips for getting your profile under control.

• Delete app’s that don’t have any value for you (even if your best friend sent them).
• Most of the things in your profile can be collapsed or minimized by clicking on the arrow.

• Move items around to bring the most important ones to the top for priority in viewing
• Move items to left column to equalize the space.

There are 2 ways to move panes:

1. Click on anything & drag it to a new position. Items can be moved into the left column this way which shortens the length of the page considerably. (The mini feed is static).

2. To right of Applications click on ‘edit’
Rearrange app’s using arrow icons on left.

Tip I just figured out tonite:
To reduce items in the mini feed -
Under Privacy tab - News Feed and Mini-Feed Privacy
(I unselected many there which should clean up that area). It also allows you to leave a group in stealth mode!
