If you're like me and thought that choosing you're Facebook URL is a one-time thing, you're wrong! You can do it ONE more time!
Ages ago, when Facebook asked me to choose a unique username that will appear in my Facebook URL, I didn't give it much thought. I just went with my current email address.
However, due to a recent decision to make my online presence more professional - which involved ditching usernames and email addresses that did not use my name - I wanted to also change my Facebook URL.
So, here's the step-by-step to changing your Facebook URL:
1. Log in to Facebook.
2. Click the gear icon in the upper-right corner, which can be found on any Facebook page, and select Account Settings.
3. Click the Edit link in the same line as Username.
4. Enter your new URL/username in the text box provided. You will then be required to enter your current password to make the change.
DONE.
Please note:
* Your URL/username can only be changed ONCE and should be something you will be happy with in the long term. It should also preferably include your real name.
* Your Facebook URL/username is unique to you; you cannot change it to one that is already in use.
* Your old URL/username will no longer work; so remember to make the necessary changes to links that you have incorporated your old Facebook URL. For instance, if you have a blog with a Facebook icon that links to your profile.
