The city now has a Facebook audience of more than 28,000, and, as a result more and more timely news updates are posted on the city Facebook page to augment news on the city website.
However, a while back Facebook changed the way it chooses the posts you see – and you may need to take a few seconds to make sure you’re getting your news updates in a timely manner.
Here’s all you need to do: Go to the city’s Facebook page. Once there, make sure you Like the page by clicking Like. You’ll then see “Follow,” “Following” or “See First.” Click “See First.” on Notifications, click “All.” You’re done.
If you already Like the city Facebook page, you’ll either see “Following” or “Follow.” Click on whichever you see and then click on “See First.” You’re done. And if you already see “See First,” make sure Notifications says “All.” Then, you’re good to go.
