How to get your Facebook username

Many Facebook users don't know this, but Facebook allows you to personalize your Facebook profile URL with your own username. So instead of having

www.facebook.com/profile.phd?id=123456789

you can now have

www.facebook.com/my.desired.name

To get your own Facebook username go to www.facebook.com/username and follow the instructions.

Be careful what you choose! Once you pick a username, it is not editable or transferable to another account, so pick well! Make sure it is spelled correctly, and that it is a name you won't have second thoughts about later.

Note: Your Facebook username also doubles up as your login, though you can still use your email address to login to Facebook.
