How do you block a friend from posting on your wall on facebook?

"How do you block a friend from posting on your wall on facebook?

I still want to keep this person as a friend but don't want them posting on my wall. How do you block them from doing this, would they know about it?"

ANSWER:

When you log into Facebook, you're presented with the page that shows all the feeds.

On the top right corner you should see "your name", "Settings" and "Logout"

Click settings, choose Privacy Settings, you will see the page for Basic Profile settings.

Look at wall posts, keep the box checked but then click on the "My Network and my friends" menu and choose "Customize".

A small window will appear where on the bottom you can type the friend's name you want to block from posting on your wall

Folksonomy

Folksonomy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Folksonomy (also known as collaborative tagging, social classification, social indexing, and social tagging) is the practice and method of collaboratively creating and managing tags to annotate and categorize content. Folksonomy describes the bottom-up classification systems that emerge from social tagging.[1] In contrast to traditional subject indexing, metadata is generated not only by experts but also by creators and consumers of the content. Usually, freely chosen keywords are used instead of a controlled vocabulary.[2] Folksonomy (from folk taxonomy) is a user-generated taxonomy.

Folksonomies became popular on the Web around 2004 as part of social software applications including social bookmarking and annotating photographs. Tagging, which is characteristic of Web 2.0 services, allows non-expert users to collectively classify and find information. Some websites include tag clouds as a way to visualize tags in a folksonomy."

Social bookmarking

Social bookmarking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Social bookmarking is a method for Internet users to store, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web pages on the Internet with the help of metadata.

In a social bookmarking system, users save links to web pages that they want to remember and/or share. These bookmarks are usually public, and can be saved privately, shared only with specified people or groups, shared only inside certain networks, or another combination of public and private domains. The allowed people can usually view these bookmarks chronologically, by category or tags, or via a search engine."

Joomla Community Magazine

Joomla Community Magazine: "Dion Hinchcliffe declared Joomla! the number 1 platform for creating online communities in his ZDNet article Ten leading platforms for creating online communities.

Thanks for noticing, Dion! With Joomla! 1.5, developers have an object-oriented, pattern based API that follows best practices. The new MVC based component objects gives developers a platform for rapid application development and prototyping. Dion is absolutely right - Joomla! 1.5 is more than capable of empowering online communities.

Following Joomla! in this top 10 list is Drupal, PHP-Nuke, Zikula (formerly PostNuke), and Microsoft's Sharepoint. The next five include Dot Net Nuke, Community Server, KickApps, and ClearSpace Community."
