A new window will appear with two labeled boxes and a drop-down privacy settings menu. In the first box labeled Group Name is an icon. Click on the icon and a drop-down menu will appear with a list of pictures. Select the picture you want to show as your icon. Then type a name into the box. Make sure that you use keywords and phrases in the name when you make a group on Facebook so that the search engines can find your group.

The second box is for listing members. In this box you can type the beginning of the name of a friend you wish to invite. Facebook will then create a menu of all your friends whose names begin with that letter. You can scroll down and select the friends you want. If you invite the wrong friend, you can click the x next to their name and they will be deleted.

Then select your Privacy Settings from the following options: Open, Closed, or Secret. These different options determine what information is kept private and what is made public. An Open privacy setting allows other people on Facebook to see your members and group pages content. Closed privacy makes content private, and Secret privacy makes content and members private. Afterwards, select the Create button.

Another window will pop up. Click the Okay button. You will go to your groups main page. Click the Edit Group button at the top right. This will redirect you to the Basic Information page.

Under name and the list of members will be a line labeled Email Address. Click the Set Up Group Email button. A pop-up window will appear. Type in an email address. Emails sent to this address will be received by all members. Once you have created an email address, select the Create Email button. You will be taken back to the Basic Information page.

On the Basic Information page is the Description box. In this box, type information that you want others to know about your group. Anyone will be able to see this information unless your privacy setting has been set to Secret. Then select the Back to Group button at the top right hand corner of the screen. This will take you back to the groups main page. On the top right of this page is an Edit Settings button. Click on this button.

A window will pop up. You can select when you wish to be notified of changes. In the drop-down menu following the title Notify me When, you can select if you want to be alerted to any comments or posts. Notifications will be sent to the email address associated with your Facebook account. If you want to change the email address, you can click the blue link titled Edit Your Notifications Settings.

Next, select whether or not you want your group to show up in home navigation. Lastly, choose to either check or uncheck the box for the option Send me Group Chat Messages. If you uncheck the box, group chat messages will not be sent to you. Click the Save Settings button.
