In this article, you&#8217;ll discover how to join Facebook, add a cover photo and change your privacy settings. Just follow these steps to create your new Facebook account! We&#8217;ll also cover how to edit your profile. After signing up, you&#8217;ll be able to use Facebook to share photos and connect with friends.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_find_out_when_you_joined_Facebook\"><\/span>How to find out when you joined Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One way to find out when you joined Facebook is to look up your email history. If you use Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail, you can use the advanced search filter to find this information. You can also check your email history for messages containing the words &#8220;join&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have found the email address of your friend, you can access their profile and click on the name. You can also check for the &#8220;Joined Facebook&#8221; box just below their hometown. You&#8217;ll see that you&#8217;re logged in. The time stamp will give you a rough idea of when you joined the site. This feature is also handy for finding out when your spouse joined Facebook! Just make sure to include the location in your profile when you sign up.<\/p>\n<p>Another option is to search for your friend&#8217;s name on Facebook. This will give you the person&#8217;s Timeline and the date they joined Facebook. Knowing someone&#8217;s join date can help you find friends that you might not have otherwise met, share missed posts, and even wish them a happy birthday. To get the information, you&#8217;ll need to sign into Facebook and click on the desired user&#8217;s profile. Scroll through the list to find the person you&#8217;re looking for.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_edit_your_profile\"><\/span>How to edit your profile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step to setting up your Facebook account is creating a profile. Your profile contains your name, mug shot, hometown, profession, school and education information. You can choose to make your profile public or private. You can also decide who can see your information and whom to contact. You can also control whether your profile is visible to search engines. Once you&#8217;ve completed your profile, you can add friends.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve set up your profile, you&#8217;ll need to choose a photo. Your profile photo is the most prominent element of your profile page. It represents you whenever you post a status update. Most people choose portrait-oriented images for this, but you can use whichever photo you want. Just make sure the image is at least 180 pixels long. When setting up a cover photo, choose one that matches your profile photo and is at least 180 pixels long.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_add_a_cover_photo\"><\/span>How to add a cover photo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to add a cover photo to your profile on Facebook, you will need to create a page. First, you will need to create a page name. The page name will help other users find your page. Think of the kind of keywords that will attract the most viewers. Next, you will need to choose a profile picture and cover photo. The recommended size for both is 180 x 180 pixels, while the cover image can be up to 851 x 315 pixels. Later, you can choose to use a slideshow or video as your cover photo. It will also allow you to set an automatic reply to messages.<\/p>\n<p>Your cover photo will be a visual piece of content that will make a lasting impression on billions of potential customers. The size of the cover photo is 820 pixels wide by 312 pixels tall and will take up almost a quarter of the screen in most desktop browsers. For maximum impact, you should upload a photo that is one minute or longer in length. When using a cover photo, remember that it will not be displayed on all your posts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_update_your_privacy_settings\"><\/span>How to update your privacy settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can change your privacy settings on Facebook by clicking on the &#8220;Settings&#8221; link in the upper right corner of your profile. Here you can choose to view your profile only to your friends or people you specify. You can also choose to show your profile to people who are not your friends. However, you cannot undo the changes you make here. You can check the settings on individual posts to make sure they are not set to public.<\/p>\n<p>You can also change the way you interact with third-party applications on Facebook. The Off-Facebook Activity menu shows some of the data Facebook collects when you&#8217;re not on the site. The best way to turn this feature off is to choose a few apps you use regularly. You can also choose to remove them altogether. This way, you&#8217;ll be able to choose which apps you want to use and which ones you don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" width=\"534\" height=\"299\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_zf5q0oS0FM\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Join Facebook For the First Time?
