How to Like and Make Comments on Facebook Posts

<h1 style="font-size:20px;margin:0.25rem 0px;padding:0px 0px 0.5rem;border-width:0px 0px 1px;border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-color:rgb(204,204,204);color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"> </h1> In addition to leaving a Timeline post, you can interact with your friends onFacebook by commenting on or liking the things they post. Frequently, people post things that you want to respond to. You may read an article they posted and want to respond to the viewpoint with one of your own. Their photos may be so beautiful that you just have to tell them. To comment on anything on Facebook, follow these steps:<ol style="padding:0px 1rem;margin:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px"> <li>Click Comment. The comment box expands. Frequently, this box is already expanded, in which case you can simply go on to Step 2.</li><li> Click in the text box that appears.</li><li>Type what you want to say.</li><li> When you're finished, press Enter.</li></ol>Frequently, comment threads, or a series of comments, can become like an ongoing conversation. If you're responding to someone who commented above you, type the @ symbol (Shift+2) and start typing the name of the person you want to respond to. You'll be able to select her name from an autocomplete list that appears as you type. After you comment on something, you'll be notified about subsequent comments so that you can keep up on the conversation. If you decide that maybe you didn't really want to say that thing, you can always delete your comment by hovering your mouse over it and clicking the X that appears. You can do the same when someone comments on something you've posted and you don't like what she says. <h2 style="margin:0.25rem 0px 1.25rem;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">How to Like</h2> Sometimes, a status or photo or linkis just good. You might not have a brilliant comment to make, or you might just feel a little lazy. A great example of this is news about someone's engagement. That's awesome, you might think. And then you look and notice about 50 comments saying simply, "Congrats!" Because, while the engagement is empirically good, there's not much to say beyond "Congratulations" or "I'm so happy for you" or "Mazel Tov!" That's where liking comes in. Liking is just a fast way for you to let your friends know that you're paying attention and you like what you're seeing. To like something, simply click the word Like below or next to the item. Your friend will be notified that you like it. If you didn't mean it, really, click Unlike and your like will be taken away. <h2 style="margin:0.25rem 0px 1.25rem;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">How to Like Pages</h2> You can like almost anything on Facebook. You can like a photo or a status; you can even like a comment on a photo or status. But there's a slight difference between liking this sort of content and liking Pages. Pages are sort of official Profiles that companies, bands, and public figures make to represent themselves on Facebook. They mostly work like Timelines, except instead of friending or following Pages, you like Pages. This sort of liking has one big implication you should be aware of. It means you may start seeing posts and updates from the Page in your News Feed, alongside stories from your friends. These sorts of updates can be really interesting and cool if you're into the particular company or brand. If they start to bother you, you can always hide that Page from your News Feed. <h2 style="margin:0.25rem 0px 1.25rem;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">How to comment, like, and share across the Internet</h2> If you're a reader of blogs, you may notice that the Comment and Like links and icons appear in lots of places. For example, at the top of blogposts on Jezebel, a Gawker Media blog, a little Like button counts the number of people who have liked any particular post. <img alt="image0.jpg" height="280" src="http://media.wiley.com/Lux/21/390221.image0.jpg" style="vertical-align:bottom;margin:0px;padding:0px;border-width:0px;font-size:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);max-width:100%;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;min-height:auto!important" width="162"> You can like posts on any website you're viewing, and those likes will be recorded on your Timeline and may appear in your friends' News Feeds. Through Social Plugins, Facebook allows other website developers to enable certain Facebook features like the Like button on their own websites. If you're currently logged in to Facebook, you may start noticing these buttons all over the Internet. This is a really quick way to let your Facebook friends know about the most interesting content you've come across online. Other websites have Share links that generate the same Facebook Share box that you find on Facebook itself. So from an entirely separate website, you can choose to post to a friend's Timeline, your own Timeline, to a group, or to a message thread. Similarly, some blogs use Facebook comments as their primary commenting system. <img alt="image1.jpg" height="202" src="http://media.wiley.com/Lux/22/390222.image1.jpg" style="vertical-align:bottom;margin:0px;padding:0px;border-width:0px;font-size:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);max-width:100%;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;min-height:auto!important" width="535"> It's just not on Facebook; it's on a different website. The way you comment is exactly the same, and in this case, you can choose whether you want your comment to be posted back to your Facebook Timeline by selecting or deselecting the Post to Facebook box.

How to Use the Facebook Group Share Box

<h1 style="font-size:20px;margin:0.25rem 0px;padding:0px 0px 0.5rem;border-width:0px 0px 1px;border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-color:rgb(204,204,204);color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"> </h1> Posting to the Facebook group works the same way as posting from a Timeline or the News Feed. There is a Share box at the top of the Recent Posts section of the page. A few sections of the Share box appear for groups that don't appear on Timelines or in News Feeds: Ask Question and Add File. The important thing to remember is that when you share something from a group, you're sharing it only with the members of that group. And if you're a member of a group, you also need to remember that you may not be friends with everyone in the group. In a big group, you may actually be sharing with many people who typically couldn't see the things you post. Although the Share box works almost the same way across Facebook, all the options are briefly explained here within the context of groups. <h2 style="margin:0.25rem 0px 1.25rem;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">Write a Group Post</h2> Posts are basically like status updates that you share only with the members of a group (unless the group is open, in which case anyone can see your post). You might post an update just to say "Hi" or to start a discussion with group members. To write a post, follow these steps: <ol style="padding:0px 1rem;margin:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><li> Click in the Share box (where it says Write Something at the top of the group page).After you click in the box, the Post button appears below the text box along with buttons to indicate where you are and which other Facebook members are with you. </li><li>Type whatever you want to say in the box. For the Dummies group, this might be something like "What do people think of the new groups?" or "Does anyone know how I can start group chat?" You can also post a link to a relevant article or website in this space. <img alt="image0.jpg" height="293" src="http://media.wiley.com/Lux/31/390231.image0.jpg" style="vertical-align:bottom;margin:0px;padding:0px;border-width:0px;max-width:100%;min-height:auto!important" width="535"></li> <li>(Optional) Add location information or tags to the post. Clicking the person icon in the lower-left corner of the Share box allows you to add a tag to others when you write a post. Clicking the location icon allows you to add information about where you are when you write the post. </li><li>Click Post. Your post appears in the group, and group members may see it in their notifications and News Feeds.</li></ol> If you want to share a link, usually some sort of article, video, or other online content that you want the group to see, simply type or paste the complete link to whatever you want to share, along with your thoughts or opinions, in the Share box. <h2 style="margin:0.25rem 0px 1.25rem;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">How to Add a Photo/Video</h2> Sometimes, writing a post won't do for the current circumstances. A picture can be worth a thousand words To post a photo to a group, follow these steps:<ol style="padding:0px 1rem;margin:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px"> <li>Click Add Photo/Video at the top of the Share box at the top of the group page.

Clicking either option expands an interface for selecting photos from your computer's hard drive. When you choose to upload photos, thumbnails are displayed in the Share box, and you can write one post to describe the collection of photos. When you choose to create an album, you're taken to the Create Photo Album interface, where you can add tags and captions to individual photos. </li><li>Click Post. The post appears in the group, and all members (depending on notification settings) are notified about your post. They can thencomment and like what you're sharing.</li></ol> If you want to upload a video, choose Upload Photos/Video and then select the video file from your computer's hard drive.<h2 style="margin:0.25rem 0px 1.25rem;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"> How to ask a Group Question</h2>One of the added features of Groups is the Ask Question feature. Questions allow group members to gather information in a more efficient way than using a post and sorting through the comments for the answers. The Ask Question feature mostly works by creating a poll that members can vote on from the Recent Posts section of the group. To ask a question and poll your group, follow these steps: <ol style="padding:0px 1rem;margin:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><li> Click Ask Question in the Share box at the top of the group page.</li><li>Type your question in the Ask Something box. </li><li>Click the Add Poll Options link beneath the text box.

The Allow Anyone to Add Options check box controls this setting. Allowing this options means people can add more answers to a poll. For example, if before people could choose only Dog or Cat, group members may be able to add Hedgehog as an option. Depending on how big your group is, this choice may or may not be significant. </li><li>Click Post. The question then appears in the group and in members' notifications and News Feeds. They will be able to vote, like, or comment on the question.</li></ol><h2 style="margin:0.25rem 0px 1.25rem;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"> How to add a Group File</h2>Adding files is part of the Files and Docs feature of groups. If you're part of a group that has real-world things to accomplish — for example, a wedding welcome letter to create with your family — you can add files to help you collaborate on these documents. From the Share box, you can upload files from your computer or, if you use Dropbox, from your Dropbox.
