Facebook for dummies.

Just a question; if a “friend” types something on their facebook (home) page shouldn’t it come to my page automatically? Why woudn’t it? Are there other settings I need to do? I mean, once you accept them as a friend, whatever they type goes on your page and vice versa?

I do believe that it means you can only see their posts by going to their page.

I’ve had a friend do this to me. I sent an email asking why I couldn’t see their posts; and they said that they didn’t post much (though when going to their homepage, I knew it was a lie). After sending the email, with the “hint,” I deleted them about a month later..if they didn’t want me to see their posts, why did they “friend” me in the first place?? They figured out that I had deleted them within a month or so, and “refriended” me. I grudgingly accepted, and now I see all their posts.
