Will someone please give me a few tips on using Facebook?

[Cara Smith]

If you like a page, it'll appear on your wall. If something you didn't 'like' appears on your wall, it may be something a friend sent to you, or an advertisement. However, if it appears on your HOMEPAGE, which is different from your wall, that just means some other people you're friends with liked the page.

Anything you post won't appear directly on your friends' walls, but it will show up in their newsfeed, which is shown on the home page.

That's basically the difference between the two: the homepage is just a feed of everything going on with all of your friends, and your wall is limited to things YOU post and things your friends sent to you personally.

Any other questions? Hope I was of some assistance.
