How to Use Facebook’s New Timeline Feature (and Hide Your Embarrassing Old Posts) New to me: The other new feature you’ll want to try is starring a post. If there’s a post you or someone else has made that you want to draw more attention to on your timeline, just hover over it and click the star button.  If you have any old posts that are public or shared with friends of friends, you can change the privacy of all those posts to “Friends Only” with one click. It won’t hide those posts from your friends, but it will at least keep everyone else on Facebook from being able to browse every post you’ve ever made public.
