CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - Some of you might already be using it and others may
still be on the old look and feel.  You need to know that Facebook is
planning to roll Timeline out to everyone. Are you really ready for it?

What about posts you did a year or longer ago?  Do you remember those?
Studies show that recruiters, prospective mates, and others research you
online and judge what they see.  Are you putting your best face forward on
Facebook?

WBTV's cyber expert, Theresa Payton, gives you some tips to protect
yourself:

Before timeline, those posts were always there but they weren't as easy to
find.  On the current Facebook format, you have to go to the bottom of the
screen, hit older posts, wait for the older posts to queue up, and repeat
again and again to go back in time.  Not now!  Just go to timeline and
choose the point in time and presto!  It's there.

5 Tips to clean up your image:

1.  Go to your privacy settings, and change the settings for "Who can see
posts by others on your timeline" and "Who can post on your timeline" to
"Friends".

2.  While in the privacy settings page, you can change the settings for
"Maximum Timeline Visibility" to "Friends".

3.  Change "Limit the Audience for Past Posts" to "Friends"

4.  Don't forget you may have posted things on someone else's wall that
needs to be reviewed.  Check your "Activity Log" to see any posts you made
on someone else's wall. If you see something that needs to be removed,
delete it.

5.  Search through all your old posts to see if there any you should
"delete" or "hide"

Just remember, digital is forever AND when Facebook makes a change, they
usually default all privacy settings to wide open.
