Trying to Keep Your Facebook Page Professional? Turn Off Tagging!
If you’re trying to keep your facebook page professional and strictly dedicated to networking for your law practice, a smart thing to do is disable “tagging” on your page right this minute.
If you’re not familiar with tagging, this feature basically allows anyone to upload a picture of you and attach it to the “photo” section of your page. As you can imagine, this can cause a number of problems for lawyers, as pictures showing you in unprofessional or even just private situations can easily make their way on to the web (not to mention, some lawyers have lost their JOBS over pictures tagged on Facebook!).
So to ensure the only photos on your facebook page are the ones you authorize, use the following steps to disable the tagging feature for good:
1. Go back to your profile page.
2. Click on the top right “Account” link.
3. A pull down menu will appear. Locate the “Privacy Settings” on this list and click on it.
4. Then click on “Applications and Websites”
5. Now, to the right of the “What your friends can share about you” option, is a “Edit Settings” button. Click on that.
6. Find the checkbox next to the “Photos and videos of me” and UNcheck it.
7. Save Changes.
Enjoy!
