Sharing and Your Timeline

Introduction

There are many things that you can share with your Facebook Friends: personal updates, photos, links, and more. The things you share will appear on your Timeline and on your Friends' News Feeds.
In this lesson, you’ll learn how to share posts to your Timeline, including status updates. We’ll also talk about using the Activity Log to manage, hide, and delete posts, and how to share with Social Plug-ins.

 Sharing with the Facebook Publisher

The Facebook Publisher is a tool you can use to share with your Friends. You can access your Publisher in two places:

• On the Timeline section of your Profile page
• At the top of the News Feed on your Home Page

One of the most common things people share are status updates—short, text-based posts that your Friends can read and comment on. Your Friends will be able to see your status updates and other important shares on their News Feeds. The things you share will also be posted to the Timeline on your Profile page.

To Post a Status Update:

1. Locate the Publisher on your Timeline or News Feed, then type your update.

2. Click the Audience Selector, then select the post's privacy level from the drop-down menu. Remember that this will also change the default privacy settings for all future posts.
