If you missed that one, here it is:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/how-to-create-collage-in-google-photos\/\">How To Create Collage In Google Photos<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This week I want to change subjects and talk about Facebook. Many of us (older people) still use this platform to keep in touch with friends and family. So there are many features to teach you about. &#8216;<em>What can you teach us this time?&#8217;<\/em> Good question. After I was looking around on FB, I thought that I could teach you how you adjust the display settings. That is right, there are settings on here to help with your Display and even accessibility. That can be from changing from Dark to Light theme or adjusting font size. Before we start the lesson, make sure to check out all these other articles I have written for you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/how-to-create-cinematic-photos-on-google\/\">How To Create Cinematic Photos On Google<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/how-to-create-highlight-on-google-photos\/\">How To Create Highlight On Google Photos<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/how-to-remix-photos-in-google-photos\/\">How To Remix Photos In Google Photos<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/how-to-disable-google-photos-suggestions\/\">How To Disable Google Photos Suggestions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/how-to-create-animation-in-google-photos\/\">How To Create Animation In Google Photos<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Time to start class and learn something new.<\/p><div id=\"daves-559504525\" class=\"daves-single-post-in-content\" style=\"margin-bottom: 25px;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7205184075006101\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7205184075006101\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"2700504761\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"false\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<h2>How To Adjust Facebook Display Settings<\/h2>\n<p>This will be shown on the Facebook website using my Windows laptop.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1<\/strong>: Head over to <strong>Facebook.com<\/strong> and log in to your account.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Facebook-Login.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-68638 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Facebook-Login.jpg\" alt=\"facebook-login\" width=\"467\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Facebook-Login.jpg 467w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Facebook-Login-150x55.jpg 150w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Facebook-Login-350x129.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2<\/strong>: Once you are logged in, look to the top right.
