How To See All Updates From Your Facebook Friends - Part 1: All Updates

My friend Bill Cammack explains why you might not be seeing every post from your friends on Facebook and how you can fix it:
"What Facebook did ages ago, was change how we subscribe to each other's personal pages.

If you go to someone's page, then click "Friends" then "News Feed Settings", you'll see that they automatically unsubscribed everybody from "All Posts".

This means that if you want to be sure to get everything from someone you used to get everything from, YOU had to opt IN to that instead of electing to opt OUT of "All Posts" for the people you didn't want to hear so much (or at all) from."
Let's look at this step by step.

STEP 1: Click Friends



STEP 2: Click Settings



STEP 3: Choose which updates you want to see - All Updates, Most Updates, or Only Important Updates



ALTERNATE METHOD: FRIEND PAGE

Alternatively, you can go to your Friend Page, and change each status there, as in Step 2 above.

Step 1: Click Friends



Step 2: Change the Settings



Note: If you select Close Friends, the See Which Updates? setting will be set to All Updates.

There's another Step you need to take.
