7.	If people are attempting to access Facebook through a Windows computer or a Mac computer, my suggestion is to use this link to get to the mobile version of the site because the mobile version is much easier to navigate, everything is in one column and all of the posts are labeled as headings. www.M.facebook.com <http://www.m.facebook.com/> 
8.	Here the links for our Adaptive sports and fitness videos on Facebook and YouTube
