I'm new to Facebook. Can someone tell me what "tagging" means. Thanks!

When someone tags me I think that they are sending me a big hello.or an acknowledgment of their presence. Haven't done it myself but have received some tags. If there is another reason I'd like to know what it is.

If someone tags you on their post on their wall, it also puts the post out there for you and your friends to see.

Sorry, I still don't get it but I do have another question: If I deactivate my account from Facebook, are my friends notified of this. Am I still on their Facebook as a friend & can they still see my stuff & try to socialize? Thanks for your help!

No one is notified, and if your deactivate your account you are gone.

Okay, thanks! So, once I deactivate, my little icon with my name & picture is gone from their Facebook page. Is that correct?

Hi, Sparkle Babe! You have 2 options, deactivate (temporarily hidden) or delete (permanently removed). Here's the official Facebook explanation with links:

"How do I permanently delete my account?

If you deactivate your account, your Timeline disappears from the Facebook service immediately. People on Facebook won't be able to search for you, though some info, like messages you sent, may still be visible to others. We also save your Timeline information (ex: friends, photos, interests) in case you want to come back.

If you don't think you'll use Facebook again, you can request to have your account permanently deleted. Please keep in mind that you won't be able to reactivate your account or retrieve anything you've added. Before you do this, you may want to download a copy of your info from Facebook. Then, if you'd like your account permanently deleted with no option for recovery, log into your account and let us know."

When I'm tagged I see more of me with someone and I am in the picture they have posted.
