It's official....I'm old. Facebook has me perplexed.
A few friends have been after me to make a Facebook page. I did today and I'm conflabbled. I get to the page and it just shows me one of my friends pages as my home page. I love technology, but Facebook and me don't look like we're gonna get along too well.

4. I'm beyond embarrassed....
I'm glad I don't have any kids. At least I can pretend to still be cool.

2. My dear WillBowden...
It IS confusing!

I've had trouble figuring out all the different features and just how they dovetail too...

I must be old too!

:P

:hi:

5. You're not old...
You are such a busy person you don't have time to delve into all the intricacies. I blame Facebook.

3. Want some help?
I'm not terrific with it myself, but it sounds as though you're looking at the news feed. Click on your name to see your "wall" and you can adjust whose posts appear there.

6. I'm not sure what I'm looking at...
For some reason if I go to the "home" page it shows my friend Lynn's stuff and not mine. It's just very weird.

7. Not anything of yours?
Assuming you've posted anything or done anything at all, that is weird.

I haven't posted anything for days, and my entire home page (set to show news feed) is plastered with other people, so it's entirely possible.
