Facebook on Friday formally introduced a number of changes it says makes it easier for users to navigate their way around the social networking site.

"Over the past few months, we've been testing several different designs of the home page to improve navigation to and discovery of commonly used features," said Facebook engineer Jing Chen, in a post on the company's official blog.

"Today we started rolling out the most recent navigation updates to help you find what you are looking for on Facebook," said Chen.

Among other things, the redesign puts some of Facebook's more commonly used areas, such as pages, status updates, and links, in a more prominent location. "Now from the top left menus you can quickly get to what's new and important," said Chen.

Also, Facebook moved the Home and Profile links to the top right corner of the home page.
