I found a way to get the old Facebook back, and I'm happy about it

I am not a fan of the new Facebook layout. Despite Facebook's claim that it's more streamlined and easier to navigate than the old layout...it's not. It's confusing, too spread out and difficult to look at.

My former KU classmate, Arthur Hur, however told me how to get the old layout back. It's easy, and took me about 30 seconds. Here's how:

Go to:
http://www.new.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2345053339 and add the "Developer" application then go to http://apps.new.facebook.com/?fbnew_opt_out=1

The only problem is, Facebook automatically takes you to the new layout when you log in. To keep the old layout, I entered the second URL, then put it as one of my favorites. Bam. Old Facebook is back. Huzzah!

EDIT: Facebook figured it out. Dammit.
