Stella Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I am wanting to set up a thing on Facebook for NZ native fish enthusiasts to share photos, trips etc etc, like the New Zealand Carnivorous Plants one. That one seems to be a 'group' so I set one up. However people seem to need to ask to join my group, which I as admin needed to approve. And it seems with a group you can't have group albums etc etc. So I set up a 'page'. OK, now we have albums and stuff, but I can only post as group owner (not me) and my posts go to member's walls, but other people's posts won't go to my wall. Maybe a group is what I want? Then when anyone posts something new it goes to everyone's wall, which I like the idea of. Argh I am lost! Can anyone advise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know that all you youth like facebook :facepalm: Wooo, someone thinks I am a youth! :happy1: I would like to have a proper web page/site about my book, though I have no idea about how to create one. Would be handy to have something to direct people to. Facebook is a handy (if annoying) platform for all us 'yoofs' that use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynsey Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hi Stella Rather than create a 'Group' (just a group of your friends) sounds like you should be creating a 'Page' that people can then 'Like' to be included in their news feeds, etc. Will have it's own wall, phot albums and so on. Try this link http://www.facebook.com/help/?page=904#!/pages/create.php Hope that helps L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Wooo, someone thinks I am a youth! :happy1: Bachelor of Arts: History (1998-2001) - makes you a good 5 years younger than me. 30 this year? I would like to have a proper web page/site about my book, though I have no idea about how to create one. Would be handy to have something to direct people to. Commercial use... I'd have to charge Could knock something up in an hour or so as it wouldn't need anything flash Facebook is a handy (if annoying) platform for all us 'yoofs' that use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yes I know that all you youth like facebook :facepalm: I'm 13 and I can't be stuffed with facebook :lol: A lot my classmates at school seem to have facebook accounts. I really don't know why - surely they have better things to do than post immature photographs of people dreesed up at halloween and random stuff like that :-?
