Hiding your profile / photos from “Friends of Your Friends”

As i always say, not all “friends of your friends” are your friends, so you must make sure that your profile, specially your photo albums are not visiable to the “friends of your friends”.

Someone emailed me last week after reading my previous post regarding facebook and asked me if i can help them to set privacy settings.

Its quite easy actually but might be complicated for few people.

So here it is.

After you are logged in to your facebook account,  Click Accounts on your top right, and under Accounts you will find Privacy Settings click on it and then you will have 5 to 6 options.

The first one is Profile Information and that is the most important part. Once you click it,  you will be taken to the privacy settings page.

There will be various settings there, like  About Me,  Personal Info, etc etc.  What you have to do is,  just select

Only Friends

Once you have selected “Only Friends” on all the settings,  the only the Photo Album settings remains.

For that Click Edit Settings button

And for all your albums,  select Only Friends.

And if you need to ask anything you can leave your comment here,  i am not regular blogger now a days i am busy but i do visit my blog to check the responses. As i had to redo my blog because of server changes, so i do not have much articles here,   but soon i will be coming up with regular blogs/articles and will try to provide as much information as i can give

Regards

Facebook has again changed their privacy settings

Privacy setting has always been issue on facebook. And recently again they have updated their privacy settings (ofcourse to make it easy for users to reach their privacy settings)

But, i have noticed, so many people’s privacy settings has been compromised as i myself was able to see many people’s profile which were not visible before these new settings were implemented.

I do appreciatte facebook’s step to protect user’s privacy settings but they should make sure that the default settings of users do not change and they do not become visible to the people they dont want.

I hope facebook will becareful next time as it is now becoming part of netizen’s lives.

I suggest all the facebook users to recheck your privacy settings on facebook by rolling over your mouse to  “Settings” tab on top right after loggin in and then click on “Privacy Settings”

Wordpress site address error ?

Just after launching, i by mistake changed the site address in control panel and then i was not able to login to admin, infact i was not able to access the login page.

There are two/three methods to overcome this problem, the easiest solution i found is to downloading your wp-config.php (if you have ftp access)  and then add a single line

define(’RELOCATE’,true);

In this page, and then open wp-login.php in your browser and thats it, wordpress will automatically solve your site address issue and next time don’t mess this up :)

** Only do this if you know what you are doing, I am not responsible for any damage you face after editing config file. You must backup your wordpress files in your computer before making changes which you don’t know about.

Goodluck

Finally, my blog is back.

Sorry for the delay, i was trying my best to implement my own website design into my wordpress theme, but it was taking too much time and so many bugs which were not being solved because of my other clients project.

So finally i decided to use the ready made theme.

Let me tell you a bit about myself incase you are new here, i have been working as a web and graphic designer in Karachi since last so many years and now a days working on few new things, and some of them are related to web.

I really like writing articles, blogging and my last blog was deleted by mistake. (I didnt backed up the database)

Anyways, so in this blog i will be sharing my daily experiences of web designing as well as internet surfing and other social networking & new technology.

Just one more thing for my visitors, that its just like my personal diary, so you are most welcome to write comments on my articles but i would request you not to start spamming or writting unnecessary comments.

I am expecting to learn from you and i hope you also get something good out of me here. Exchanging views is great.
