How To Make Someone's Name On Facebook Into A Link?
I am sharing this trick also because of the amount of searches on the topic "how can I make someone's name go blue in a Facebook status?" it seems it's not universally known.It is so easy:
Put @ in front of their FULL name with no space after the at symbol.You can do this in your status or comment.
For example:
Watching movie with @nicejatt.com
When you start typing their name any matches will show in a drop down and you can click on their name instead of typing the whole thing.
If you our help then ask via comments.Facebook rocks,,!!!
