Getting Less Email From Facebook

OK. This is a new blog.

I don't mind getting email from facebook. However, I do mind being inundated with it.

Here are the steps I've taken to get facebook to send me less email.

  1. Log into your facebook account
  2. Click on settings (upper right corner)
  3. Click on notifications
  4. Turn off most email notifications

You turn off email notifications by making the checkmark go away for that item. In other words, click on the checkmark.

Later, if you find yourself missing some of these email notifications, you can turn them back on.

In general, though, I find it best to turn something off until I start missing it.

Update: November 14, 2014

It seems that things have changed. Now if you want to get to your settings, you have to go to the upper left-hand corner and click on the down arrow. Behind the down arrow is a menu that includes the menu choice, settings.

Things do change over time, don't they?
