I invited who I wanted to and then when I went to look at my Facebook homepage -- it was full of a bunch of junk. Other people I don't know talking about random things, things along the side of the page, etc. I looked over all the settings so I couldn't figure out why I did not have a blank page to start working with. Just a bunch of comments from people I did not invite or include when I signed up, etc. When I try to set it up again (if I do) I am sure there is a way around to stop that sort of thing. Like many others I am trying to get a wound healed and I have about 100 other things to do on the PC when I do have PC time. I'm glad so many people are having so much fun with theirs however!
