Facebook Tips

     Facebook, one of the most widely used social network in the world. Now, everyone has their own Facebook account. (okay, almost everyone) It has brought benefits (and also disadvantages) to us all. While using it, here are a few tips I had just discovered on the Internet that will add some fun and colour to your social networking experience!

Tip #1: Change your language!
Tired of plain old English? Try this out! =]
1. Login to Facebook (of course)
2. At the right side of the top navigation bar, click on the rightmost icon.
3. Click Account settings
4. Click 'edit' for the Language option
5. From the dropdown menu, choose English(pirate). (It is above the option English(UK) )

Arrr.... now yer ship is ready to sail!

*Ps: in case you forget, to change back to normal, choose ye ship's rigging for account settings.

Tip#2: Turn your Facebook upside down
Now, you do not need to learn to do a headstand to make your Facebook turn upside down.
1. Steps as in tip#1 from 1 to 4.
2. Instead of choosing English(pirate) from the dropdown menu, click English (Upside
    Down).

With this setting, every word will be turned upside down except for names and people's posts.

Tip#3: Cool text effects
Don't you want to post a Facebook status that's simply COOL? Check this out!
1. To writing upside down and/or backwards, go to Upside Down Text.
    Here are some examples of what it can do:
    -Backwards effect: elpmaxE
    -Upside Down effect: Ǝxɐɯdlǝ
    -Backwards and upside down effect: ǝldɯɐxƎ

2. Creating symbols such as stars, smiles, bubble words and many more. Here are some
    websites that you can surf for them: ( well I googled it, these are for your easy access

In addition to all of that, here are some useful tips that you might want to know.
Tip#4: Hiding app notifications
Fed up with all those app notifications? This is how you turn them off.
1. Go to account settings.
2. Click on the "Notifications" tab on the left side of the page.
3. Browse through the apps and deactivate those you do not want.

Tip#5: Forwarding messages
Retyping similar messages can be a bother. Here's a tip on how to forward them without actually copying and pasting them to multiple people.
1. Click on d message icon on the left of the top navigation bar.
2. Select the person with the message you want to forward. (Make sure that your
    conversation is displayed full page and not just a small chat box at the bottom)
3. Click on "Actions" and select "Forward Messages..."
4. You can now check the boxes for the messages you want to forward.
5. Next, click on the forward button (obviously) and you can now insert the name of your
    friend or email address at the space provided.


Hope that these tips are useful! =)
