SO ANYWAY…’cause GF is always in a hurry and looking for the quick way out, she tried the following solution that worked like a charm:

1. Create your Invite
2. When you get to the “Invite Friends” part of the Invite, it opens a Window with all your Friends listed. Don’t click on any of your Friends! Instead, Copy and Paste the following bit of code into the URL box at the top of the page  (Yes, you want to Paste OVER the URL address that is showing):

javascript:elms=document.getElementById(‘friends’).getElementsByTagName(‘li’);for(var fid in elms){if(typeof elms[fid] === ‘object’){fs.click(elms[fid]);}}

3. After you’ve pasted that code string into your URL box, left click your mouse in the URL box (anywhere is fine) and hit Enter.

4. BE PATIENT!! If  you have several hundreds (or over a thousand) Friends, it will take a minute or two (literally). Don’t touch anything, let it do it’s thing, go get a Diet Tab and a Slim Jim and take a break fer gosh sakes already!

5. When it’s finished processing, you will see ALL of your Friends highlighted in the Friends box. Now, just click “Invite” or “Send” and you’re done. You DID it!! I KNEW you could!! See…those strings of code are not evil…just ugly!! So don’t be afraid!

So NIFTY! how it works, huh?!

Now you go and have yourself a Sunshiney day, Pumpkin!

Here’s the scoop, served in a nutshell, covered in chocolate sauce, whipped cream and a cherry:

1. Status Updates are now seen on Google, Yahoo, etc. search engines: So if you post any colorful updates that you wouldn’t want Mom or your boss to see, you can change  your Privacy Setting under “Profile Information” and “Posts by Me” to show your Updates to “Only Friends,” rather than the “Everyone” setting. Because “Everyone” means Everyone.
2. Your “Personal Info” is also now set to default to “Everyone” by the new Facebook settings for family and relationships (relationship status) and your birth date (do you really want this information seen to anyone and everyone online? Think about identity theft here). You can change this setting.  Go to “Privacy Settings,” “Profile Information” and for each field listed on this page, change the pull-down menu (to the right). You can choose “Everyone,” “Friends of Friends,” “Only Friends,” and “Custom.”  The “Custom” field allows you to choose “Only Me,” which might be the best choice for your sensitive data like birth date.
3. All of the above Personal Information, if it is checked or defaulted to “Everyone,” is also available to the search engines. Under “Settings/Privacy Settings/Search,” look to see if the “Allow” box is checked. If you do not want your Profile information to be search-able, uncheck this box.

Now go out there, and take on this Facebook thingy, and don’t be afraid!! ‘Cause once you’ve conquered this small challenge:   “You [will be] able to say to yourself, “I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.” You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” Eleanor Roosevelt said that, and I just love that lady. Have a sunny day!  Love, –your Girl Friday
