Chapter 2. Getting Started > Viewing Your Facebook Home Page
2.7. Viewing Your Facebook Home Page
After you’ve registered with Facebook, the site creates a Home page just for you. If you’re already logged into Facebook, simply click the word “facebook” at the top left or the Home link at the top right of any screen to see your Home page. If you’re not currently logged in:
Point your web browser towww.facebook.com. You see a generic welcome page with a spot for you to log into Facebook on the right.
Log in. If you always access Facebook from the same computer, you may find that your email address already appears in the Email field. If not, type in the email address and password you gave Facebook when you registered, and then click the Login button.
Tip:
Think twice before turning on the “Keep me logged in” checkbox. If you do, your browser will stay logged into Facebook until you specifically remember to log out. If you forget to log out, family members, coworkers, fellow library patrons, or anyone else who uses the computer after you log into Facebook can access your account.
Facebook takes you to your Home page, which includes a list of links on the left hand side, a News Feed section in the middle, and various info about Events (Chapter 8), requests, and other happenings on the right side (along with a bunch of ads). Think of this page as your Facebook control center: It gives you an overview of what your friends are doing and what you can do.
After you finish your Facebook session, click the Account link in the upper-right part of any Facebook screen and then select Logout. Doing so prevents other folks from getting into your profile and designating you as being “In an Open Relationship,” say.
