2. Click 'Create New List' and a panel pops up.
   
3. Give a name for this friend list

Setting your privacy settings

1. Hover on 'Settings' at the menubar located at the top of your facebook page.
2. Click on 'Privacy Settings'
3. Click on 'Profile'
4. You will see the different types of information that is shown to your friends. Simply go to 'Customize' for whichever particular section (ie: Photos Tagged Of You) and choose who can view your photos. The EXCEPT section is where you can include the list of friends that you DO NOT want to view your photos.
