Tutorial - How To See All The Facebook Postings Of Those You REALLY Want To See

Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.

Aww, Facebook, love it or hate it!  I really did love it when I first started.  It was actually a way for me to connect to see 

the photos of our grandkids.  But it has changed so much over the years.  Have you noticed, or not, that you're no longer seeing postings from some of your friends and places that you once "liked"?  

I'm going to show you how you can get them back into your life again.  You probably know that when you click on "Like" or "add friend", you can also click on "Get Notifications"...





All you have to do is hover over liked, and the following will pop up.  Check on "Get Notifications".




The real KEY to seeing everything you want to see, is to create an interest list.  On the left side of your home page, you'll see all your groups, games, interest, etc. that you're following.  Go to interest and click on this...





This will take you to another pop up.  Click on +Add interests...





The following will show up.  Click on +Create List...




I decided to create another interest just for this posting.  So I chose painting.  All the pages I've "liked" that I wanted in this interest group, I put a check mark on them and hit "next"...



For this new list, I added watercolor...




Now your new list will show up under INTERESTS...




As you add new pages that you want to follow, you'll click "Like", "Get Notification" and click the interest group you want it to go into (I accidentally created two watercolors, so please ignore the first one




Now go back to your Interests and  when you hover over it, a small gear sign will show up to the left of your group.  From this, you can either add this group to your Favorites or Delete if you no longer want it...





If you add it to Favorites, it will be at the top of your home page on Facebook versus towards the bottom.  I added a couple to my Favorites and left the others under Interests...




Just go to your list, click on it and your postings that you want to see and not miss, will be there for you...




Now not only will you have the list for you to follow, but tell all your friends and followers how they can follow you and not miss anything!  Hope this helps you.

  2. Thanks for the tips.

    I am working on my 50th high school reunion and I post a lot to our Facebook group. I need to get notifications, but I have a few nieces and nephews whom I don't really want to see everything they are doing!
