Hello! I have tried this several times with no luck. All other sites are loading just fine. I just reinstalled the operating system on my desktop so I'm working with a clean slate. Any thoughts?

Then you probably have a DNS cache problem. In Safari select Preferences->Advanced and click ‘Show Develop menu in menu bar'. You should now see Develop in the top menu of Safari. Click on Develop, then about halfway down you will see Empty Caches. Click that and then quit Safari. Relaunch Safari and see if you can now get to Facebook’s website.
