Facebook groups are a popular way to gather together groups of friends with a common interest, and setting one up is easy.<\/p>\n

First, be sure you’re logged in to your facebook account, then go under the top menu and find “Create.”<\/p>\n

\"Create<\/a>

Under the dropdown, select “Group”<\/p><\/div>\n

From there, a modal dialog box pops up asking for the basic information about a group. Give it a name, and select the other options as suitable.<\/p>\n

\"Group<\/a>

Choose your options.<\/p><\/div>\n

Start by adding some of your contacts whom you know will want to be involved. Later on, if you choose, you can grant them a role that lets them manage the group and its users. By default, the group is going to be members only. That’s a good thing — it keeps you from getting overrun by trolls and spammers. Readers will be able to submit a request to join, and your or the other administrators can approve them or block them.<\/p>\n

If you make it visible, people can find it and ask to join. Otherwise, it will be by invitation or word-of-mouth. <\/p>\n

\"Group<\/a>

This is the completed FB page.<\/p><\/div>\n

Once you have it set up, you can add other members. Some will be suggested for you. There are options to add a banner image, link other related groups or pages, categorize your posts, set up events and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
