Recently, a few readers approached us and requested more how-tos on Facebook. So here is one pretty useful tip that will help you keep unwanted visitors away from your profile and even prevent them from contacting you on Facebook or through the Facebook chat.

So here’s how you block someone on Facebook:

1. First, login to your Facebook account.
2. Hit Settings.
3. In the Privacy section, hit Manage. You’ll see the following:
4. In the Block People section enter the name of who you wish to block. Facebook will search to find a matching person to the name you entered.
5. Once you have selected the correct person, click Block. You might need to execute steps 3-4 as needed for different individuals you would like to avoid.
6. Note that you can also block a specific email address, so an account associated with that address won’t be able to contact you not only today, but also in the future.

Two important remarks before you go ahead and block people:

1. People you have blocked will not be notified about that.
2. If for some reason you would like to restore a relationship with someone you blocked in the past, you will need to send him/her a friend request. Pretty embarrassing, right

Stay tuned for more Facebook tips.
