I’ve mentioned at the last few meetings that I’d really like to use twitter to keep everyone updated on events, permission forms, emergency prayer requests, etc.
You all asked for instructions. Here they are:
1. Go to http://twitter.com. Then click the “Get Started-Join” button.
2. Fill out the form (it’s like 5 entry boxes) and click “I accept. Create my account.”
3. You can skip searching your email for friends that might already be on twitter. If you want to try it, you’re on your own.
4. Okay, your account has been created. Now click the “Take twitter with you link” to set up your IM or phone.
5. Enter either your phone number or your Instant Messaging ID (GTalk is your best bet for IM).
6. Be sure you put “+1″ before your phone number.
7. Send a TXT to twitter (40404) with the message that it tells you to (just like the on-screen instructions say).
8. Go to http://twitter.com/ccxp and click “Follow.”
9. Let’s turn notifications on so you actually GET the messages. Click where it says “Notifications: OFF.”
10. Now switch those notifications on and you should start receiving TXTs about upcoming events and reminders about youth ministry stuff!
If any of this was confusing or you need some help, comment, call, email, text, IM, or bug me at Thirsty and I’ll help you out!
