Using the Facebook login screen is fairly simple once you get the hang of it, and after a few practice tries, you’ll be able to use Facebook and other social media websites as easily as if you had been doing it for years.

The first thing that you’ll have to do in order to log in to your Facebook account is to create one. If you don’t have a Facebook account yet, then it is easy to get one, simply by going to the Facebook homepage at www.facebook.com and typing in the name you want to use and the other required information like your email, password, gender and birthdate. Alternatively, you can choose to create a page for an organization, band or celebrity fan page at the link below the sign up button.

In the process of signing up, you will encounter a capcha, which requires that you type in a series of letter and numbers to prove you are not a computer making an automated request.

Then, you will be directed to a page that will inform you to check your email and confirm your mailbox before you can continue. Often, people encounter problems with the Facebook algorithm not recognizing the email address that they have entered.

For instance email addresses at domains with dashes in them may not be allowed, and email addresses at your own website are sometimes filtered out. In this case, if you have entered your email correctly and Facebook is refusing to accept it, you might consider creating an email account at Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail to use in creating your Facebook page.

If you forget the email that you used to sign up for Facebook it is quite easy to retrieve it with several options. If you keep trying to log in and cannot simply click the link at the bottom of the login screen that says ‘Forget Your Password’.

You will be taken to a screen that will allow you to search by your email address, or phone number if you entered one, as well as by your Facebook username which is usually http://facebook.com/ followed by your first and last name separated by a dash. However, this may not be the case if yours is a common name that is used by a lot of people.

If you don’t know your Facebook user name or your email then you can search by entering your first and last name, and the first and last name of one of your friends. This will take you to a page where you’ll be asked if you want to reset your password, and will show you a very small portion of your email addresses listed on your account.

Facebook is a website that is intended for networking with friends and people all over the world, and can be used by private persons, businesses or even those wishing to create a fan page for a topic, band or other celebrity. Creating a Facebook profile will allow you to have your own Facebook page that people can find, where you can add your friends, chat with people that are online, post pictures and update your status, as well as find new friends based upon the likes and interests that you have, from all over the world.

The first step in creating a Facebook profile is to go to the Facebook homepage, either by typing “facebook” into Google or another search engine and clicking on the website result, or by going to www.facebook.com. Next, you’ll fill out the profile information that is required to create your account including your birthdate, email and first and last name. You’ll also enter your gender, and a password for your Facebook account. You can also choose the link on the bottom of the Facebook form to create a page for a band or celebrity, or for a business.

The next thing your going to want to do is fill out your basic profile information. This will be the first page you come to after create your account and there are several tabs to complete your profile. After putting in the basic information, you’ll upload a photo to your profile, or if you prefer you can take one with your webcam for you portfolio image.

The featured people tab allows you to set your relationship status and include the names of members of your family.

Next, you can add places you have worked and schools you have attended resume-style, in order to connect with people that way as well.

You can also choose to fill in the Philosophy tab of your Facebook Profile, which includes what religion that you prefer, as well as your political affiliations or preferences.

You can also add to a list of people that have inspired you, and choose a favorite quotation that has meaning to you, or sums up your life. Next is arts and entertainment, which allows you to choose movies, books and television shows as well as sports that you like or play on the next tab.

Finally, list any interests that you have which will allow you to find contacts which share those interests.

Finally, you’ll get a chance to add any contact information you’d like to share such as your address, and telephone numbers, including your instant messenger ID’s so that your friends can add you. You can also add your personal home page if you’d like, or the URL’s of some of your favorite websites.

The last thing that you’ll want to do is click ‘Save Changes’. You also have one additional step in creating your Facebook profile and that is to set your privacy settings, at the bottom of the rest of your tabs.

This will allow you to choose who gets to see which parts of your profile. Once you have finished this step, your Facebook profile is complete.
