Click SIGN UP on the right hand side in the yellow/orange box.
-
Fill in the page. This would include your NAME, your TWITTER NAME (something creative or not), a PASSWORD, an EMAIL ADDRESS
-
The click CREATE MY ACCOUNT
-
A box will appear to see if you are a human (seriously) and you will have to TYPE IN A PHRASE. Go ahead and type it in and click SUBMIT
-
You NOW HAVE A TWITTER ACCOUNT!
-
It will lead you to a screen that reads: Step 1 of 3: Browse Interests To get started, select the topics you are interested in. Find a few people you want to hear from, then follow them. When you "follow" someone, each time they tweet, you'll see their tweets on your Twitter Home page. They are notified that you are following them, and will be displayed on your public profile. You can follow or unfollow sources anytime. I would JUST PRESS NEXT STEP
-
Now you will be on a screen that you can enter your email password. This will help Twitter find all of your email friends that already have a Twitter account. I WOULD SKIP THIS STEP since it will swallow up a good amount of your time and brain power. Not worth it unless you really get into Twitter at a later time. BOTTOM LINE: PRESS NEXT STEP (BLUE BOX on BOTTOM)
-
Now you are on a new screen that reads FIND SOURCES THAT INTEREST YOU. Who interests you? Rubio does. So in the box on the left, type in RUBIOSNAPPING.
-
My logo and Twitter account will pop up. Click on FOLLOW. A little dial should go and then it will read "FOLLOWING" with a green check mark next to that word.
-
Click NEXT STEP: YOU'RE DONE!!
-
This will take you to your TWITTER HOME PAGE. This page will show you all of the updates that I have sent (or anyone else you choose to follow on Twitter). You can update this page visually anyway you want, but you can figure that out on your own. I AM JUST GOING TO SHOW A COUPLE MORE STEPS.
-
On this page, it will show you a note that says: Please confirm your account - a confirmation message was sent to (your email address here) Until you confirm, you will have limited access to certain features on Twitter. Learn more Resend confirmation Resending confirmation - Change email address (Settings) JUST GO TO YOUR EMAIL, OPEN THE EMAIL FROM TWITTER AND CLICK ON THE LINK....THAT IS IT
-
THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT STEP...FOCUS UP:) Now that you are on your personal Twitter page (You will probably want to bookmark this one and check it often...kinda addicting) and click on SETTINGS at the TOP.
-
Now click MOBILE (third one from the left after the words accounts and passwords)
-
Now enter your country (USA should be already marked but I embrace world followers so let it rain in passing on this email), then your CELL PHONE NUMBER and click START
-
You will now be asked to send a text message (mine was the word: GO) to 40404. (That is the number you will see when you receive a Twitter update from me)
-
Now you will just wait for Twitter to get confirmation that your cell phone actually is a working phone that can receive messages. PLEASE NOTE, you might have to do STEP 17 a couple times. or it may take awhile depending on internet traffic. It took me FOUR TIMES, but it is WELL worth it once it happens.
-
Once it happens, it will take you to a screen that shows your CELL NUMBER. Now click HOME at the TOPThis will take you to your TWITTER HOME PAGE again. Once there, click on the word RubioSnapping. You will see a ton of updates from the on your page.
-
Now MY TWITTER HOME PAGE will be on your screen. Right below my logo, you will see a green check mark and the word FOLLOWING. Now really focus here, click the teeny, tiny cell phone.
-
Voila! You have done it. Now you have a Twitter account, you are following me and you will now receive my Twitter updates (called Tweets) on your phone as a text message (yes they are free if you already get texts)
-
Feel free to mess around on your home page to add a photo, adjust the color or follow anyone else. Some celebs are good and some are just the publicist doing lame stuff. Have some fun with it. Bottom line, you are now connected and will receive updates throughout the day from me. Trust me, you will enjoy it...whether it be my morning quote of the day, an announcement about which long snapper has committed, a youtube video of a top long snapper, my protest of the day, a great photo of a long snapper in action, or my song of the day....you will have a good time with it. Plus, I play a lot of games on Twitter as well.
