How to Paste Links on Facebook From a Mac

Facebook automatically formats links you post with headings and descriptions.

Facebook gives you a status update box on your wall where you can post different types of content, including website links. If you're using an Apple computer running the Mac OS X 10.5 operating system or later, you can copy the address of a website and paste it on Facebook to share the link with your contacts.

Instructions

1. Click on the "Safari" icon in the dock at the bottom of your Mac's screen. Safari is the default Web browser in the Mac OS X operating system.

2. Navigate to the Web page that you want to share with your Facebook network.

3. Triple-click on the Web page's address in the top toolbar to highlight the entire address.

4. Open the "Edit" menu at the top of the screen and click the "Copy" command.

5. Open a new window or tab in Safari and navigate to facebook.com.

6. Log in to the site with your email address and Facebook password.

7. Click in the text box at the top of the page underneath the News Feed heading.

8. Click the "Edit" menu and click the "Paste" command.

9. Click on the triangle icon in the lower right corner of the text box and click whom you want to share the link with. You can make the post public to the world or share it only with your friends.

10. Click the blue "Post" button to publish the link to your Facebook wall.
