A lot of my friends have been asking this to me so I’ll just go ahead and make a blog post for everyone. According to facebook:

If you block someone, they will not be able to find you in a Facebook search, see your profile, or interact with you through Facebook channels (such as Wall posts, Poke, etc.). Any Facebook ties you currently have with a person you block will be broken (for example, friendship connections, Relationship Status, etc.). Note that blocking someone may not prevent all communications and interactions in third-party applications, and does not extend to elsewhere on the Internet.

So in essence you become invisible to that person and there is no way he/she can add you back or search for you unless he/she makes a new profile.

Blocking a friend:

The blocking process is fairly simple and most of you already know it:
You just have to click on ‘Report/Block this Person‘ and check the “Block this person” and click on Submit.

I’ve seen numerous pages on facebook about changing facebook themes. Unfortunately, no user can change his/her profile theme because this data has to be stored on server. It can only happen if facebook starts supporting themes which I don’t see is a possibility anytime in near future.

Before following this tutorial, keep 1 things in mind:

This change will only be seen by you only on your computer and only on Mozilla Firefox.

This means that its only for people who would like to feel good seeing their own themes. It would not affect the look of your profile on others’ computer ie. other people would not be able to see your theme and instead see the default facebook theme.
