Have a nasty facebook link? Here's how to fix it.

For months now I've been using this as a link to my Facebook profile:  http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000145504915

Finally I found a simple article which showed me how to change it to: http://www.facebook.com/lifecoachdavebrown

The article, http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=433331867755, gives the following steps:

How to give your Facebook profile or fan page a user-friendly URL.

1. Find Account Settings under the Account tab

2. The second setting under this menu is User Name. Click this tab.

3. Facebook will prompt you with “Choose your new username carefully. You can only change your username once”. Keep simplicity in mind.

4. Check the availability of that name. If all is copacetic you will have yourself a friendly URL.

If that doesn’t lead you to help change your fan page, simple go to http://www.facebook.com/username/. You will be directed to a drop down menu where you can choose which page you’d like to edit. Keep simplicity in mind and check the availability of that name. Again, if all is copacetic you will have yourself a friendly URL!

It certainly helped me -- hope it helps you too!
