“Just thought I would add an easy guide on how to change your privacy settings on Facebook:
———————————————————————————————————————————
1) Logon to your Facebook.

2) Click on the ‘My Privacy’ link on the left side of the page.

3) Click ‘Edit Settings’ under the ‘Networks’ header.

4) Edit these settings to best suit your needs and click ‘Save’ at the bottom of the page.

5) Your now back on the main ‘My Privacy’ page. Now just one by one to all the ‘Edit Settings’ links on the page and set them so you feel secure.

6) After changing these settings you should still be on the ‘My Privacy’ page, if not, repeat steps 1 and 2.

7) Now click ‘Edit Limited Profile’

8) Set your ‘Limited Profile’ up. You might want to set it to just show basic information, and possibly your wall. Then click ‘Save’

9) Now you have the ability to add certain people to this list on the ‘My Privacy’ page, and they will be able to only see the information you have selected. Also when confirming friends you will notice the option of selecting that they can only see your limited profile. When confirming if you click on that it will automatically add them to you ‘Limited Profile’ list. I recommend you add people to this list who you do not know, or do not trust.

10) Your now done and can feel more secure on Facebook.
