ENG News (via The Naturist Society)

We received this note from TNS:

Hello Everyone,

If you've checked we do have a preliminary program up in pdf format on our website (http://www.naturistsociety.com/events/ENGPrelim.pdf). In our ongoing efforts to "go green" we have decided not to send out a preliminary program to everyone on our mailing list. It is available online and we will have the final program available at Eastover. In addition we are not sending out registration forms. Eastover tells me that over 90% of attendees call the toll free number to register. Sending out registration forms only to have them thrown away is a waste of money and paper. These are also available on our website to view or download (http://www.naturistsociety.com/events/ENG09RegForm.pdf). We will also mail copies out to those who request it. We will be sending out a reminder to everyone about the dates and how to register etc.

I'd like you all to check and make sure you have your workshops mailed in to us and that they are on the preliminary program. Check it out at http://www.naturistsociety.com/NEWWebPages/ENG09Page.htm. If you have any updates, questions or suggestions please let me know. We're at 75 days and counting.

Thank you all for volunteering your time and effort to make Eastover 2009 our best year ever.

Thanks

Naturally,
Nicky Hoffman Lee

Facebook and Privacy: Learn How to Adjust Your Settings

We love Facebook. The more we play with FB, the more we want to know. A primary concern we have dealt with is privacy. How can we control who sees what?

We did some research and thought it would pertinent to share it here.


Friends Lists
This is really good and will facilitate easy management of your friends. We have several lists: Family, Friends, Caution (and others). The benefit of having a friends list is that not only can you do mass messaging to say, your family group, but you can also set permissions based on a list. If you have added a someone as a friend but don't want to give them full access to you on FB you can add them to a flagged list (like my Caution) as well as other applicable lists.

1. First, if you click "Friends" in the blue bar.
2. Click Create List.
3. Enter a name.
4. Start adding people to the list by typing their names or choosing multiple people.

Privacy Settings
Once you have established lists, you can adjust your privacy settings.

1. Go to the blue Facebook bar at the top and hover (hold you mouse over but don't click) over Settings, then click on Privacy Settings. This will list lots of settings you can change.
2. Click on Profile.

The profile privacy settings let you determine who sees what. For example, if you take a look at each of the subheadings, you can adjust if just your friends, or your network, or whatever, sees which part of your profile. As you explore, notice that for any setting you can also block a list of friends. So, you may want to block access to your "Caution" list from seeing your friends list, photos tagged of you, whatever... Be sure to save the changes (bottom of the page with all the options) as you go along.

As you make changes to your privacy settings, you can see how other people will view your pages (wall, etc..) by typing in their name near the top next to "See how a friends sees your profile". You can see how different lists of friends see you on FB.

News Feed and Wall Settings
Another thing to change are the News Feed and Wall settings (back up in Settings-Privacy Settings). You can also block people or restrict to certain lists here. I think that may be less important overall.

Group Settings

1. Choose Groups from the right sidebar of your FB page or the bottom of the page





2. Hold your mouse over Settings (but do not click), then choose Group Settings





3. Choose the radio button "Never publish any stories from Groups" on the Wall tab


a>


4. Click the Profile tab and choose which (if any) Friends List can see your Groups





5. Click Okay when finished.

Easy!


Photo Privacy
Finally, you can edit who sees your photos.
1. Go to Profile.
2. Click on the Photos tab.
3. Then click on Album Privacy on that page.



Other Fun Stuff
Facebook released a new feature that can remind you of upcoming birthdays via an email notification. If you opt in, you will receive an email on the weekend summarizing the upcoming birthdays of your friends for the next week. Here is how to enable it:
1. Hover over Settings and choose Account Settings.
2. Click the Notifications heading.
3. Under the "Facebook" section, click "Show More".
4. Turn on "Has a birthday coming up".



 We hope this helps! Have a fun, safe, time on Facebook!
