Basic Features
1. Comment
- This feature allows you to share your thoughts and opinions through others' posted content. For example, someone posts something about one of our interns in Bolivia and we want to direct the individuals who are reading the content to information about our expeditions in Bolivia.
- How To: Below any content, status update, posted item, etc. there is small, blue lettering that reads "Comment". Click "Comment" and type the information you want to share. After your text box is full of the information you want to post click the blue "comment" button.
2. Like
- This feature allows you to show your interest in any given content on Facebook.
- How To: Below any posted item of Facebook there is text that says "like". Simply click this button and it will automatically show that you like the given item.
- Another feature on Facebook allows you to post content on your wall from all over the web. You can promote important content, our partners and other organizations.
- How To: Below content on Facebook (normally links and video) there will be small blue text that reads "share". Click this link and a dialog box will appear. You will have the option to either post on your wall or to share with friends. By choosing to post, you will share the information with everyone. Type the information in the box that you want to share. Add links such as Donate to Ascend at: http://ascendalliance.org/donate.htm, etc. Then click the big blue "share" button and the content will be posted to your wall or sent to your friends.
Useful Tricks
1. Attaching friends to content by using the @ symbol.
- This feature allows you to attach a limited number of specific friends to a given posting or status. It does not work with comments. This can be utilized to point out specific things that individuals have done. i.e. Our new interns in Peru XX and XX just posted a video blog! Check it out here: http://www.ascendalliance.org/.
- How To: In most content, while you're typing in information, press the @ symbol and begin typing your friend's full name. Finish by clicking on your friend in the dialog box that pops up below the text. Continue your text or add more friends by adding a space and starting again with the @ symbol.
2. Adding Emotions
- When posting or commenting, you can add smiley faces, etc.
- How To: Simply type in one of the short cuts (see below) of the emotion you want to add.
