Want to share pictures with Grandma, but not necessarily your other Facebook Friends?

Sometimes PostEgram contributers have pictures they would love to share with the PostEgram recipient, but not their Facebook friends. For example some people feel uncomfortable posting photos of young children to Facebook and giving their names. Here’s how you can make sure only Grandma sees certain photos.

Go to your “Profile” page and click on your “Photos” tab.

Click on “Create a Photo Album”.

Name your album.

Click on the “Privacy” drop down menu.

Click on “Customize”.

Under the “Make this visible to…These People” click on the drop down menu.

Click on “Specific People”.

Type in the name of the person who created the PostEgram. This is the person who posts a "PostEgram Courtesy Reminder” on your wall.

Now click on “Create Album”.

Select photos to upload.

Upload photos.

Click on “Publish Now”.

The album will be posted to “Your” wall but only you and the person who creates the PostEgram will be able to see it and, of course, the recipient of the PostEgram!

(However, you can "remove" the wall post if you want and the photos will still be included in the PostEgram. To revove the photos completely from Facebook you must delete the album.)
