Facebook Settings

I am teaching BUS 120 this semester.  One thing we do in that class is create a LinkedIn profile and view our other social networking sites to ensure our privacy settings are set so anyone who is not a friend cannot view our information.  Employment opportunities have been lost due to what possible future employers have found online about an applicant.  I have even gone so far as to recommend that you have your friends list set so that no one can view your list.  Many of us have "friends" or family that are not the most upstanding individuals in our community.  You do not want to lose a position because of "guilt by association."  To close your friends list, perform the following steps:
  1. Click your name in the upper-left corner.
  2. Click the blue FRIENDS link under the picture of six of your friends.
  3. Click EDIT at the top.
  4. Click the down arrow.
  5. Choose ONLY ME.  The only thing your other friends will be able to see is who you have in common as friends.  No one will be able to view your entire friends list.
Have a great fall break!

2.    For each number space 2x and for each comma, space 1x.  So, it will need to look like this:
