Update Your Twitter Profile

So, now that you have set up a Twitter account, how do you get rid of that silly egg and add some other information about yourself?

First of all, log onto your Twitter account on your desktop computer. You can edit your profile on most smartphone apps but they all do it in a different way, so I'm going to show you from a desktop internet connection which will be the same for all users.

Your Profile should contain a picture that represents something about you. Either a picture of yourself, the school, or perhaps the school logo. If you run more than one Twitter account, use different Avatars for each. The picture is called an avatar. The default avatar is the Twitter Egg.

Your Profile should also contain some further basic information. Personally I won't generally follow a Twitter account that I know nothing about. As well as this your Profile can contain you website, and a short bio about your school, or personal mission statement if it is a personal account.

Here is a small swish file that shows how to access the Profile section once you have logged on to your Twitter account. To view the video in a larger format, click the box on the right bottom corner.

If you have any further questions, just post them here or to my Twitter account @Mavenshare

I also made an earlier post on this blog about why you might want to set up more than one Twitter account.
