Facebook gives teenagers access to post to the public

By -

Previously, teenagers from the age of 13 -17 were unable to post status upadtes, videos and images that can be seen by the public, restricted to their friends only. Now their posts can go public, not only to their friends, but friends of their friends. This limitation restricted some adverts from reaching the walls of these teenagers.
Facebook still included a notification before these teenager accounts post messages, alerting them that their post will be seen publicly.
Facebook has over 1.2 billion users worldwide and are up against competitors like Twitter and Google in online marketing. This move by Facebook i believe is to expand their marketing reach.
Now products and services for teenegers under that age range can be reached with adverts through Facebook.
This is good news for marketers who want to reach young customers on Facebook. Parents will not welcome this change as kids being able to post and receive public content are now exposed to the vulgarity uncensored contents on the social network giant, Facebook.
What do you think about this change? Who will it benefit the most? As a parent will you allow your children signup on facebook? Will this encourage online bullying?

HOW TO LIMIT NUMBER OF DISPLAYED POSTS IN WORDPRESS

It's totally easy and is almost clearly written in the Wordpress documentation. I will go straight to the point. You will have to know a little bit of PHP. In your themes folder, open the index.php file. In the file you will find this code(without the curly braces): { if ( have_posts() ) }  this code queries your database for posts with the default setting from your Wordpress Dashboard. Just before the code(without the curly braces), input this code to modify the query: { $query = new WP_Query( array( 'posts_per_page' => 4 ) ); } "You can change the number of posts that suits your design." Then you need to modify further. Change the following....   { if ( have_posts() ) } to { if ( $query-> have_posts() ) } {while ( have_posts() )} to { while ( $query->have_posts() )} {the_post()} to {$query->the_post()}  So that's all you need to do Happy coding :)
