How to lock down your Facebook profile

A friend of mine twittered this to me and I thought it was important to share with the group.
The Facebook security settings are very complicated to navigate. This link will guide you step by step with screen shots on how to lock down your profile. There were actually a couple steps I missed so I am sure others missed them too.

For those confused and think they may have missed something, or even if you think you found it all. You may want to run this Privacy scan. I ran it and found I missed a couple spots.

Step 1: Navigate to the link below

Step 2: Drag and drop the scan for privacy link to your toolbar
Step 3: Navigate to your facebook privacy settings page
Step 4: Click on Scan for Privacy in your toolbar.

Hope you find this link helpful. If you have any other links you would like to share please email Susan Fischer at susan@clinchportal.com
