How to join Facebook
1. Go to the Facebook website. Under Sign Up type your correct information into the boxes.
The birthday boxes have the information in drop down boxes and, when you click on the arrows, they will display a list for you to select the correct dates. You should also click on the round button next to either male or female. After you have completed these boxes click on the green button to Sign Up.
2. Facebook will send an email to the email address you provided. This is to ensure that you have given a real email address and one that you really have access to. Click on the button Confirm Your Account. A numeric confirmation code is also provided and you wold be asked to type this in.
3. Facebook now opens your profile and ask you a series of questions to help you get started.
Step 1 is to help you find friends who are already on Facebook.
Facebook also suggests people it thinks you may know and gives you a list with profile photos so you can recognize them. If you would like to connect with someone on this list click on the Add Friend button. This will send a Friend Request to them – it is their choice whether or not to accept your request.
Click on the Next button if you do not recognise or wish to connect with anyone in this list.
4. Facebook gives you the opportunity to connect with people in your email address book/contacts on the welcome page. It does this by taking the email address that you used to create your profile. If you want to see who it suggests click on Find Friends and it will access your email contacts to match them up with Facebook users.
5. Next the Welcome page suggests that you get familiarized with your privacy settings.
6. Add a Profile Picture. You can use either a photograph that is on your computer or can be accessed from your computer (for instance on a USB) or, if you have a webcam that takes still photos, then you could take a new photo of yourself.
7.Since Facebook is all about connecting with people it allows you to search for people you might know by typing in their names.
Doing all of this gets you on Facebook. Welcome to the large Facebook community!
