I am so new at this, but I was wanting to know how people are using their main page versus the newsfeed page.
Is there much of a difference? I guess what I really want to know is what was the intended purpose of both page types?

Timothy, "Newsfeed" is a widget and not a page.
You can insert this widget to, for example, mail or user's dashboard page.
Besides the newsfeed you can have other elements/widgets on the page.
Basically main page is usually the page with general info: latest groups, videos, photos, blogs and etc.Newsfeed of the main page shows the latest activity on the site: somebody joined, added photo, commented on video, became friends, sending gifts and etc.

Is there a difference between the main page and the dashboard? Both look alike minus a few widgets. Do i need both? thanksYea Frank, The dashboard is a complete waste of time. Some of the dashboard widgets should just appear on the Main page when a user logs in. There is no need for the Dashboard and it just complicates the site confusing members.
I'm trying to have a separate custom index page to advertise the site better, and make it look better. Ideally a user logs in and then should land on the Main page that has all your 'home user' options.. the dashboard needs to go.
