1. How To Create a
Facebook Profile
PRESENTED BY: STEPHANIE PATTON
2. Search for Facebook URL
Turn your computer on and launch your internet browser (i.e.
Internet Explorer, FireFox, Google Chrome, etc.)
Once your internet browser has loaded, search for:
https://www.facebook.com
3. Register for a Facebook Account
Under the words “Sign Up” on the homepage, put
your first name in the first box and your last name in
the second box.
Next enter a valid email address and re-enter that
email in the box below. This is so that Facebook can
contact you for confirmation of your registration and
in future send you updates from your profile.
Next enter a password of your choice, your sex, and
your birthday. Then hit the Sign Up button at the
bottom of the page.
5. Confirm Your eMail
Facebook will now tell you it has sent a confirmation
email to your email account. You must now login to
your email. Open the confirmation email from
Facebook, click on the link it provides and it will take
you to you new Facebook profile.
6. Add A Profile Picture
Click on the Picture tab to upload a picture from
your hard drive that other people will be able to see
as your profile picture. Click Browse, find a picture
on your hard drive, tick the box to certify that you
own the rights to the image, then click Upload
Picture to confirm.
8. Complete Your Profile Information
The next step is filling out basic profile info: High
school, college, and employer. You may choose to fill
this out, or skip this step.
9. Find Friends
You'll now have to go through a series of steps to
personalize your profile. First, Facebook will offer to
scour your email address book for addresses of people
that also have Facebook profiles, giving you a chance to
add them as your friends. Simply enter your email
address and password and Facebook will find your
friends. Select the ones you want to add by ticking the
boxes to the left of their pictures and then click Add to
Friends at the bottom. After that, you’ll have the option
of choosing friends from your email address book who
aren't on Facebook and sending them Facebook
invitations.
11. Find Classmates
Click the Find My Classmates button. Next,
choose the country, city, name of your school, and
the class year (if you are searching for a specific
person, just type in their name), then click Search
for Classmates. Now select anyone you recognize
or want as a friend and click Add to Friends. You
may have to write the text from the security box into
the text box to confirm.
