There’s a lot of stuff on Facebook that I simply don’t understand.  However, one thing that I certainly know is that the new News Feed / Live Feed stinks.

I’ve seen tons of people post examples of how to get the “old Facebook” feed back.  The short of it is to move “Status Updates” to the default feed on your Facebook home page.

But, it’s not really the same.

You don’t get links, videos and picture updates.  I know some now tell people in their status that there is new content (like links, video and pics) on their wall because so many people have moved to the “Status Updates” as default.

If you want to get Status Updates, News Feed, Pics, Links, etc. in your default feed, here’s how.

1. On your Facebook “Home” page click the “more” link on your left sidebar.

2. At the bottom of the sidebar, click on “Create New List.”

3. Name the list “Everything” and select each of your contacts.

(If you have a lot of friends this could take a couple of minutes; however, you only have to do it once.)

4. Once you create your “Everything” feed, grab the three little striped bars to the right of the word “Everything” and drag it up to the top above “News Feed” or “Status Updates” (whatever is at the top of your sidebar).

5. Boom.  That’s it.  You’re done.

Now, everything is in your default news feed.  You’ll get updates on everything your friends are doing and won’t miss out on their silly pics, links and videos.

Future Friends

Unfortunately, your new friends won’t be automatically added to this “Everything” feed when you add them as friends.  To get them into your “Everything” feed, just click on the little pencil icon next to the word “Everything” and select the new friend (everyone else should already be selected).  Save the feed and all your friends, including new ones, should be good to go.
