Hi Aoife

Thanks for your comments. I know you can cutomize some parts (like photo albums - a bit of a hassle - and parts of your profile. But as Karen has said, it seems (perhaps I am mistaken) that you can not block off part of your wall.

Another thought Aoife is that people my age (early 40's) might not have the same reaction as a younger person as to being rejected as a friend. so I wonder whether my facebook page will be my "advert to the world (or the people bored enough to visit) where I (pardon the pun ...) put on my best face....

BTW- it is my understanding that facebook has become the defacto standard for social networking. Is that correct (have friendster and others died?)

Cheers

Peter
