Coping with Facebook's Recent Changes

If you're a Facebook user, I am sure you've noticed all the recent changes they've made.   I don't know about you, but I'm not a big fan of several major changes all at once. Personally, I find the changes make the Facebook interface too busy, and you can't find things where they used to be.


Anyway, there are some things you can do to bring back the Facebook you know. If you want your feed to go back to normal, go to your Account Settings,  then Notifications on the left side. At the top right, uncheck the E-mail Frequency box. After that, your  feed will show all the posts again. Then, go to your home page and anything in the Top Stories, click on the down arrow in the upper right and unmark as top story; now your newsfeed will be set up by timestamp rather than randomly picking "top stories".  Continue to click on the down arrow in the upper right any other top stories you see on your feed.  Keep doing this to all the top story posts and eventually, your feed will be back to normal.

Also,  you want to get rid of that annoying live feed in the upper right-hand corner, there's a  free browser extension that can do that .    You can download it at http://betterfacebook.net/. It also has a lot of other cool features to customize your Facebook.  

Oh, and by the way, Frugal Fine Living is on Facebook; if you're not a fan already, go and check out our page.
