too dang hard

[darkoshi]

Facebook is too hard for me to use. I simply wanted to post the same content as my last DW post to Facebook, but anchor tags don't work on Facebook.

I don't want the default images and text that shows up when you post a URL, as that takes up too much space. I want to control the link text and description myself, and don't want any images.

This FB help page says to enter the URL into the Share menu at the top of my Timeline or homepage, but I don't see any Share menu. The only place I see to enter anything is the Status box.

This page shows an icon for attaching a link, but my Status box doesn't have that icon.

Oh, and apparently you can only include one URL per post? Or at least only one URL gets updated with an image and text.

G+ is to some extent the same, only allowing one link that includes content. That's one of the reasons I keep doing large writeups here. I can format and present complex content with multiple pictures and drawings, and the result has value.
But that's not what FB, or to a large extent G+, are intended for, I guess.
