How to hide a top story on Facebook?

One of our subscribers raised the following question :

Facebook developers have come up with several new attractive features over the past week with the most significant being the top stories. I find it easy to sort my top priority posts out with this but sometimes my news feed fills up with some unnecessary stories. Is there a way by which I could hide such posts even if it’s a top story? Please help me out.

Thanks for the question. Yes of course there is a way to hide such posts even if it’s a top story. Here’s how you go about doing it :

• Log into your Facebook account.
• Your top stories can be found out by a blue inclined triangular mark which will be present at the top left corner.
• While you roll over the post, you will find a down arrow present at the top right corner. Click on it.
• And then select hide story from the drop down which will appear subsequently.
• All done. Now you have successfully hided a post which was a top story.
