1. Log In to your Facebook Account
Login into your account by going to www.facebook.com and entering your email address that you signed up with, and your password.
2. Add friends
In the top left of the screen, you will see 3 blue icons - the people (friends symbol), the letter (messages) and the world (notifications).
If you click the first symbol, the friends symbol, it will tell you if anyone would like to be your Facebook friend. If you have a red number one, as is shown in this image, congratulations, someone wants to be your friend! You can then accept or decline the friend invitation. To accept the friend, click the blue 'confirm' image. Generally, only accept people as friends who you know outside Facebook.
If you click on the friends icon, and then click 'find friends', Facebook gives you a range of ways to find people that you know. For example, you can find people from your skype or hotmail contacts list and add them to your Facebook friends.
3. Update your Status!
Now, oncce you are logged in, you will see a whte bar at the top of your page, saying 'update status'. If you don't see it, click 'home' at the top right, and it should appear. Whatever you type in this bar will be visible to people who are your Facebook 'friends'. Why not try typing something simple and practice updating your status. You could type something like "My first Facebook status update!" If you want to add a photo, you can click the 'add photo/video' button and choose a file from your computer to share with your friends.
4. Create a photo Album on Facebook!
Click home, and on the right hand side, you will see a list of Favourites, including newsfeed, messages, events and photos. Click on 'photos' and then click 'Add photos'. You will then be able to upload your favourite pictures from your computer and share them with your friends.
