When I click on my 'friends' pile on my wall, I seem to get the same ones over and over each time it updates the screen.

Does it have anything to do with their blog being a business? Mine is just personal, so would it show up for my friends? I shared a blog post today, and I never saw it in my news feed but it was on my home page. I remember within the past month or so some of the bloggers commented about how FB changed the rules again, but I never saw an explanation. Thanks for all your help!Meghan Carverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12171644527417702921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-63571305874310909552012-11-26T14:19:53.036-05:002012-11-26T14:19:53.036-05:00Good stuff, Edie.

Even with that, there's no saying in the future FB won't decide to let everyone know. I'd stick with accurate designations and just select the See in News Feed option. Great question!

LOL), but wouldn't necessarily want them seeing that I set them as Close Friends just so I'd see all their posts. Or would it be best to just select the See in News Feed option (can you click this without also clicking CLose Friends?)?
