Hi It’s Jan at My Local Business Online. I heard that Facebook have decided that we
all need to use Facebook email. Now I don’t know about you, but when I first heard that
Facebook announced this email thing, I thought, “Sod this for a game, I have far too many
email addresses anyway.” I don’t need another so just ignored it thinking that would
be that. However, Facebook have decided in their infinite
wisdom that we will all use Facebook email. What they have done is change your profile
over to the Facebook email. So if anyone wants to contact you now and you have your business
email or a personal email on there it is now default as Facebook email.
How do you change it? Well it’s quite simple. Go to your personal timeline, this is me.
Click on the about link at the bottom. Scroll down until you see contact info, as you can
see my email is now iamjankearney at facebook dot com. Which I am not because I would never
even look at that. If anyone contacted me on that I probably would never even realise.
And my contact info needs updating because this was from when I first set up my website.
To change that email, click on edit. As you can see my contact emails are here, any you
have listed will be here as well. Click to unhide them and show it on the timeline so
the marker is a round dot. If you don’t want the Facebook standard email showing,
hide it from the timeline. You can also add and remove emails here too.
While I am here I’m going to change that to jankearney on Skype when it’s working,
that’s where you’ll find me. Click save. There you go the normal email
address is back on there. Speak to you soon
