Now your status replies show up on your Facebook profile. Here's how to hide them

As of December 10, 2010, you may have noticed
that suddenly, the "Recent Activity" section of
your Facebook profile wall actually shows the
first seven words of any reply you leave on your
friends' status updates. This can be no big deal
or completely disastrous, depending on what those
first seven words are, because anyone who can see
your wall can see your recent activity.
Unfortunately, there is no way to hide the recent
activity by default, unless you hide your entire
wall. This article will show you how to remove
individual posts, and hide your wall from certain
people.

!! Steps !!

!! Removing Individual Posts !!

* Click on "Profile" on the upper right hand corner of any Facebook
page.

* Look for the Recent Activity comment you want to delete. If you
hover your cursor over it, you should see a little "x" pop on on
the right. Click on it.

* Click on "Remove Post" in the dialog that pops up. The post in
question will disappear. The actual comment you left will still
remain, but now people won't see it on your Wall.

!! Hiding Your Wall !!

* _ Click on "Account" from the upper right hand
corner and choose "Privacy Settings".
If there are parts of your profile you don't want some of your
Facebook friends to see (such as if you can't reject a friends
request from your nosy Aunt Bertha, but you really don't want her
seeing what your real_ friends see), choose "Custom" and click on
"Customize Settings".

For "Status Updates" click on the dropdown menu
and choose "Customize".

For "Make this visible to" choose "Specific
People" from the dropdown menu and type in the
name of the friends who you want to be able to
see your Wall. Alternatively, choose who you
want to make your Wall invisible to by typing
their names into "Hide this from".

!! Warnings !!

* If you hide your wall from someone, they won't be able to see it
at all, and they'll probably know you've deliberately hidden it
from them.
