The things you share will appear on yourTimeline and on your Friends' News Feeds. 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, textbased posts that your Friends can read and comment on. Your Friends will be able to see your status updates and other important shares on theirNews 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. Locate the Publisher on your Timeline or News Feed, then type your update. 3. Click the Audience Selector, then select the post's privacy level from the dropdown menu. Remember that this will also change the default privacy settings for all future posts. 4. Click Post. The post will be published to your Timeline and your Friends' News Feeds. Sharing on a Friend's Timeline To share something on a Friend's Timeline, simply use the Publisher located on that Friend's Profile page. Note that you cannot control privacy settings for the posts you create on your Friends' Timelines. For this reason, you should think carefully before posting anything that might be considered inappropriate or embarrassing. If you don't want other people to see your post, just send it as a message. To share something on a Friend's Timeline, navigate to the desired Profile page, type your message in thePublisher, then click Post. More Types of Sharing The status update is only one example of something you can share. You can also: Post a photo or video Share a link by typing or pasting the link into the Publisher Tag a Friend, which shares the post to that Friend's Timeline, as well Add your location The Timeline Your Timeline is the part of your Profile where you and your friends can post messages, photos, links, and more. It's also a place where Facebook shares brief updates about your recent activity on the site, such as the Friends you've added, the photo you've uploaded, the things you've Liked, and much more. The Timeline was previously known as the Wall. The biggest difference between the Wall and Timeline is that your Timeline makes it easy to look at all of your past posts. With Timeline, you can easily view your Facebook activity from any year since you joined Facebook. Click the buttons in the interactive below to learn more about sharing on your Timeline. Posting Past Events to Your Timeline Your Timeline isn't just for recent activity and posts. You can also post past events and milestones, like a new job or an important achievement. Facebook calls these Life Events. Some Life Events are automatically posted to your Timeline when you change your Profile information. For instance, if you change your relationship status to "Married," Facebook would add the Life Event "got married" to your Timeline. You can add past events to any point in your Timeline. This lets you use Facebook like an online scrapbook or autobiography. Keep in mind that Life Events are completely optional—you don't have to post any of your personal history to your Timeline if you're uncomfortable sharing this much information online. To Add a Past Event to Your Timeline: The Facebook Publisher on your Timeline includes two options for posting to a past point in time: When you post a status update, photo, or video, click the clock icon and select a date in the past. Click Life Event, then select the desired type of event and enter additional details. 8. Uploading Pictures and Videos Facebook is a great tool for sharing pictures and videos with your Friends.
