Facebook recently changed the way users see posts in their news feed, choosing the content THEY think you should see first. As a result, you may be missing important posts, updates, events, and calls to action. Take back control of your news feed in a few easy steps.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_text admin_label=”Issue, Action” _builder_version=”3.0.89″ background_layout=”light”]<\/p>\n Facebook analytics indicate that most Suit Up Maine members see posts via their news feeds. The downside to being a news feed-only user is that you are leaving it up to Facebook to decide what you should see.
