To make a group on Facebook, make sure you are on the home page. Click the Home tab on the top of the screen if you are not. On the left of the screen under the thumbnail of your picture is a list. Under News Feed, Messages, Events, and Friends will be the option Create Group. Select this option.

A new window will appear with two labeled boxes and a drop-down privacy settings menu. In the first box labeled Group Name is an icon. Click on the icon and a drop-down menu will appear with a list of pictures. Select the picture you want to show as your icon. Then type a name into the box. Make sure that you use keywords and phrases in the name when you make a group on Facebook so that the search engines can find your group.

In the next box labeled Members, begin to type the names of friends you want to make members. Facebook will provide a drop-down list of all of your friends with matching names. From this list you can quickly choose anyone you want to make a member. Repeat until you have added all of your members.

Then select your Privacy Settings from the following options: Open, Closed, or Secret. These different options determine what information is kept private and what is made public. An Open privacy setting allows other people on Facebook to see your members and group pages content. Closed privacy makes content private, and Secret privacy makes content and members private. Afterwards, select the Create button.

Another window will appear. Click Okay. You will be redirected to your groups page. In the upper right corner of this page is an Edit Group button. Click on it. You will be taken to the Basic Information page where you can come up with an email address and a description.

Under your groups name and a list of its members is a line called Email Address. Select the option to Set up Group Email and type an email address into the pop-up window. All members will get a copy of any message sent to this email address. Then click the Create Email option. You will be redirected to the Basic Information page.

Under the Email Address line is a box called Description. Type any information you want others to know about your group into this box. This description can be viewed by other Facebook members if your privacy setting is Closed or Open. Next, click the Back to Group button on the top right corner. You will go back to the main page of your group. Select the Edit Settings button on the top right of the page.

A window will pop up. You can select when you wish to be notified of changes. In the drop-down menu following the title Notify me When, you can select if you want to be alerted to any comments or posts. Notifications will be sent to the email address associated with your Facebook account. If you want to change the email address, you can click the blue link titled Edit Your Notifications Settings.

Next, select whether or not you want your group to show up in home navigation. Lastly, choose to either check or uncheck the box for the option Send me Group Chat Messages. If you uncheck the box, group chat messages will not be sent to you. Click the Save Settings button.
