After you complete the last step in the preceding section, you’ll see your Home page in all its glory. The Home page (see Figure 2-4) is what you see each time you log in to Facebook.

While some parts of the Home page remain the same (such as the top bar and left sidebar), the bulk of what you see is constantly changing. This is because the Home page contains the News Feed, which is essentially a real-time newspaper filled with updates showing you what your friends are posting, sharing, and talking about on Facebook.

At the beginning of this chapter, we point out that Facebook gets exponentially better after you have friends. Until your friends respond to your requests, you may not see much on the Home page except prompts to learn more about Facebook, find more friends, or create your own post. After you add the people you know as friends, take a break. Stretch. Go for a walk. Drink some water. Come back over the next few days to see the interesting photos, status updates, and links your friends are sharing.

As you navigate Facebook for the first time, you may notice small boxes popping up in different parts of the screen, such as the one in Figure 2-5. Don’t ignore these! They are trying to teach you tips and tricks to get you comfortable using Facebook.
