Editing Your Facebook Comments

October 15, 2012

Did you know that you can edit your Facebook comments? In the past you would have to delete a comment and start over or type another comment to correct your error. Now all you have to do is click the pencil icon to the right of your comment. Selected “Edit” or “Delete” and then make the changes to your comment. Hit escape if you want to back out of the changes. Hit enter to add your changes and you’re good. You can even see a history of what you or your friends have “Edited”. Watch the video for more information on how this is done.

Where did Facebook Notes go?

January 17, 2012

Many have probably wondered where certain features of Facebook have gone after the recent Timeline conversion. Most are still there but take just a little more difficult to locate. One of those features is Facebook Notes and something I’ve used before myself. It is not really needed anymore because you can post 63,206 characters of less on your status update now. But it is still there for those who like using it or those who want to view old notes. An easy way to get to them is just to type in your user name after facebook.com and then forward slash notes after your user name. So my notes are at https://www.facebook.com/SocialMediaDJ/notes. Want my book for free? Just click! The 2nd way to reach your Notes is via your Timeline by selecting the drop down arrow to the right of the tiles/boxes. Click the drop down arrow to reveal more tiles and you should see one labeled Notes. Just click and you should be able to see your old notes and create new notes if you would like. Let Your Friends Know How to Find Their Facebook Notes – [TweetThis] Here’s the Facebook how-to video for those of you who would like to see how this is done. Clicking on the Pen icon will let you edit which tiles you want where by swapping positions with other tiles. Give it a try and see what works best for you.

Adding A Facebook Event To Your Google Calendar and iCal

December 15, 2011

Adding A Facebook Event To Your Google Calendar and iCal In my last post and Facebook Tip – Adding A Facebook Event To Outlook on YouTube, I showed you how to add a Facebook Event to your Outlook Calendar. It is a fairly easy process once you do it a few times. If you don’t have Outlook you can still add a Facebook Event to your favorite calendar such as Google Calendar and Apple’s iCal. Follow the same instructions I laid out in Adding A Facebook Event To Your Outlook Calendar and download the .ics file to your desktop. Locate the file you have downloaded and follow the instructions I’ve listed below depending on the calendar you use. Google Calendar Import events from iCalendar or CSV files To import events from iCalendar or CSV files, just follow these steps: Click the down-arrow next to Other calendars Select Import calendar Click Choose file and find the file that contains your events, then click Open. Select the Google Calendar where you’d like to import events, then click Import.   Apple iCal Exporting and importing iCal information If you want to move a copy of all the events on one calendar to a calendar on another computer, you can export the calendar information, and then import it into iCal on the other computer. You might want to do this if you want to archive a calendar or if you want to edit the calendar on another computer. To transfer calendar information between computers, do one of the following: â–  To export the events on a calendar, select the name of the calendar in the Calendars list, and then choose File > Export. The events are exported as a “.ics” file. â–  To import calendar events, choose File > Import, locate the calendar (.ics file) you want to import, and then choose the calendar you want to add the events to. You can also drag a .ics file from your desktop to iCal.   If you follow the steps above your Facebook Event will be saved to your favorite calendar so you won’t miss that next Facebook Event. If you are using another calendar application check that calendar’s Help menu for information on importing .ics files or search Google for information.

Adding A Facebook Event To Your Outlook Calendar

December 14, 2011

Adding A Facebook Event To Your Outlook Calendar Have you ever confirmed yourself for an event posted on Facebook but forgot to to attend or add it to your calendar? There is actually a real easy way to add any Facebook Event to your Outlook Calendar. In the video I explain how it is done with Outlook. But you can also download the information for the event and then import it into Google Calendar. When you are looking at your Facebook Profile page there are 2 ways you can view events. One is on the left-hand menu from the Events link and the right-hand side of the page you should see the Birthdays of your friends and and how many events you have in the current week. Click on the link on the left-hand side to see all your upcoming events and birthdays. If there is a number next to the link it means you have new events you can join. You can “Join” or “Decline” to the right the event information or clicking the event title will give you more information on that event. If you scroll to the bottom of your events list page you’ll see links to view past events, declined events, birthdays and a link to export all events to your calendar. You can export all events if you want. However I recommend you only export the events you plan to attend. Lets scroll back up to the top of your events page and look at an event. You have to “Join” an event or be a “Maybe” in order to “Export Event” to your calendar. Once you do that the button will change to “Going” and allow you to change it to maybe or not going. Notice the button to the left of the “Going” button below. Here is where you can “Share Event” with your other friends or “Export Event” to your calendar. Pick “Export Event” to start the export process to your Outlook Calendar. It should only take a few moments for the .ics file to download to your PC. If you click on the file it will launch Outlook so you can save the event. You can also save this file to your PC and then import it into your calendar. Most calendars will have information on how to do that. Notice how the information from the Facebook event is carried over to Outlook. Here is where you can make any need changes, add a reminder, set a category and then save the event to your calendar. It is pretty easy to do after you understand the process and you will never miss an important event with your social media friends. I will talk about how to import your Facebook events into Google Calendar in a few days. Please feel free to leave a comment below or let me know if you have any questions.
