Facebook User Settings

[petey111]

I encourage everyone to take a very, very close look at your user settings on Facebook since the new privacy changes. Two things that you can not lock down at all are your profile pic and what pages you are a fan of. If you are concerned about some random person in the world taking the profile pic of you and your family or child and doing something with it, change your profile pic. If you need help figuring out how to hide anything, please ask. My husband and I spent a lot of time this morning determining how to lock down as much information as possible. We have it down I think. So I'd be happy to help.

Here's a link to my husband's blog post. It will help you optimize your settings if you'd like.
