Tagging friends name in Facebook

Dear Readers,

Facebook has updated it's site with tagging friends from our list in simplest way.

By giving your friends name starting with Captial letter you can tag your post with your corresponding friends. How easy it's :)... Try it out...

Another Advantage is i can shorten my friends name as i wish. See the above screen it says "Sudhakar Pasupuleti" but i have edited him as sudhakar. In the post it will be shown as "Sudhakar" (See below). When you click on "Sudhakar" it will take to his profile.

Dear Readers,

Today let's see on how to block a particular friend in Facebook chat alone. We may need the users feed but to stay away from chat. This post will give you the solution for this.

1. Login to Facebook and on your left side click on "Friends" then click on "Edit Friends" button on the screen.

2. Click on "Create List" button and in the next pop-up window enter the name of the list as "Blocked Users in Chat" (You can define your own name) then select the users to block. Finally click on Create List after selecting the user.

3. Now you would be seeing your friends in the below list (Blocked Users in Chat).

4. Move your mouse to the status (arrow pointer) and click on "Go Offline". Doing this would appear you as offline for blocked users.

Note: If the user whom you are trying to block is added into multiple list then it may not work as you expected.
