Text of the page (random words):
long web links if it s poss hannah whoishannahb i would like to know how do you put a link to a blogpost with a short lettered link nic nichohn good question and one i d not thought to cover but clearly when you ve only got 140 characters per tweet you don t want to take up the majority of your space with a long url link so you need to shorten it first there are other places you can go to to shorten urls but i use the site bit ly it s simple it s free and i find that web address so memorable and therefore useful you can sign up for an account with them if you want it to keep a record of the links you ve made previously if you want to find them again or gather statistics on the number of clicks the links have etc i have an account but it s not necessary to use bit ly copy the link you want to use go to http bit ly paste your link into the blue box click the shorten button copy the new short link it created for you paste it into your tweet and here s one i made earlier btw clicking the image above will take you to those intriguingly shaped insoles if ijust forewarn you that they re rather suprisingly anatomical in shape you can judge for yourself whether or not to clikc on it don t say i didn t warn you a question of the darkside way back in lesson 2 when i suggested that you should aim to personalise your profile image and background soon after opening your account i raised the issue of spam accounts and how you ll want to reassure people you contact on twitter that you are genuine the following suggestion lets me add to those ideas maybe put what to do if you receive spam nasty tweet k lady_k_black when you gain a new follower and you click on their profile to find out more about who they are and why they might have chosen you to follow if you don t see any regular kind of chatter or conversation in their timeline or if it simply consists of tweets saying look at this with a link chances are they re just spammers you do not have to have anything to do with them and in theory they can t actually get to you in any real way however if you re not comfortable with them following you if their content is inappropriate to you and you simply don t want them anywhere near your account you can easily put a block on them or report them i generally always block accounts which have shiny well endowed ladies in bikinis as their profile photo click on the little cog icon in their profile then select an option from the drop down list for the record i m not unfollowing the above account it was the least personal account i came to when looking to create the screenshot as for receiving a nasty tweet element fortunately this kind of thing hasn t touched me personally but i do know it can happen and it s definitely worth mentioning the best place to seek answers on this is on twitter s own help pages which are situated in a slightly less than obvious place click on your username in the top right corner select help from the list which drops down there s a category called report a violation which covers lots of tricky situations on a brighter note if you still haven t taken the plunge that previous paragraph isn t going to move you in the right direction and i m absolutely refusing to end on that downbeat topic so i m going to make one last ditch attempt to persuade you to consider becoming a twitter ite but after 8 posts on the topic from me you ll be tired of hearing my voice so here s a selection of the many lovely responses there ve been to the class sitsbackreadytogetallwarmandglowy hello twitter world i m finally joining in thanks to the twittercurious e class with notesonpaper so helpful ginger burns gingersburns thanks for the excellent twitter tutorial slowwwly getting the hang of things jenn hildebrand loveamelierose this is the best series i have seen for those who don t and even some who do tweet i will be sharing this on my magazine for sure rebecca e parsons rebeccaeparsons to tweet or not to tweet enjoyed this post by julie kirk for you non twitter getters this is for you kelly rae roberts kellyraeroberts the final verdict back when i made my opening argument in to tweet or not to tweet i said i was making a case for twitter and i think i have and not only has it not been thrown out of court i m happy to say that for many in the jury twitter has been found not guilty not guilty on the count of being as baffling as once feared not guilty on the count of being impenetrable and unmanageable not guilty on the count of being a unproductive networking tool not guilty on the count of being a pointless impractical waste of time not guilty on the count of being a impersonal technological way of connecting with friends but if you voted guilty or you re still a twitter skeptic well that s fine with me i won t be barring the doors of my blog to you i understand that it really isn t for everyone there s a lot of time and attention grabbers out there online and i m not sure that if someone was hosting a tumblr or pinterest curious class i d be on board with it even if it was free so today how about we just let twitter walk from court a free man and live and let live and if you have any issue with that you can tweet me about it oh and if i haven t said it before thank you you ve been a wonderful jury 12 good tweeters and true julie x p s i haven t forgotten about the giviaway i promised at the start for those of you who ve been kind enough to mention the class online i ll be posting more details tomorrow there s still plenty of time to enter i just wanted to keep it separate from today s post posted by julie kirk at 11 02 4 comments labels twitter curious twitter training tips how to tweet prompts free class email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday 9 february 2011 tips for the twitter curious 8 embracing the weird of twitter hello you made it back here then i see if last time was a sit up straight look smart and pay attention post then today is the equivalent of a non uniform day you know the ones where you get to wear your own clothes on the last day of term so you wear tight black jeans with cowboy boots and bat earrings rather than your everyday catholic comprehensive school uniform anyone no just me then but if by chance you are sat there in tight black jeans and bat earrings i need to see a photo if you dropped in expecting sweets crisps those biscuits with the pretty icing and hyperactivity inducing fizzy drinks i ll be handing those out at the bottom of the post secretploytokeepyoureadinguntiltheend so let s leap from lesson 7 s sublime straight into the ridiculous throughout these lessons i ve focused a lot on the practical uses of twitter and encouraged you to build up a network of both useful contacts friends and loved ones but if after all that you d like to add a few quirky members to your twitter family then believe me when i tell you you can pretty much find anyone on twitter following the fantastical i can t quite remember where or when i first found jesus i think i spotted him in a retweet by someone else which had made me laugh and so as is the tradition i became a follower then in return well let me just say there can be few more defining moments in an online life that the moment you receive an email notification informing you that jesus christ carpenter healer god is now following you on twitter i mean that s not something you read every day is it note however i ve just looked at jesus s profile page it now says he isn t following anyone so where did that email come from i guess i ll never know anyways what i m hoping to point out here is that for every genuine account held by a real person there s at least the equivalent of impersonators and funny ones at that lately i ve been enjoying the tweets of the 140 year old laura ingalls wilder as she struggles through another long cold winter on the prairie if half pint s not your girl then you can just as easily follow the queen charles dickens samuel johnson barbie because tweeting s what the great and good are doing these days having said that it s not just the good so be careful out there an email telling you voldemort s following you now that s got to make the heart quicken it d probably be as startling as the time i was tweeted at by the stalking velociraptor one day last spring kirstyneale and i were innocently discussing how the danger of taking up the latest trend for wearing capes was the tendency for them to restrict your arm movements giving you the appearance of what i termed little velociraptor arms several hours later the stalking velociraptor who must have heard us taking his name in vain tweeted me to alert me to the fact he was peeking out of the bushes and had heard us crazy moments like this like a velociraptor who likes spying on people who use his name almost as much as he likes coffee all add to the rich tapestry that is twitter and one can only imagine these people are hosting these accounts for no other reason than it s fun now there s a thought that would be some advanced homework for me to set you wouldn t it who would your twitter alter ego be who could you convincingly tweet as mmmm that could be revealing find your own funny apart from these odd characters who pop up to boggle the mind and brighten your timeline don t forget to search twitter for the people programmes publications and blogs etc which you already find funny i follow several comedians and comic writers i admire luckily their tweets often reflect their comedic talents although the temptation for them must be to keep all their material for future projects finally i foster my love of all things overheard by following a few accounts which like i often do tweet the results of their eavesdropping such as the overheard newsroom i think we should now add jokes and overheard snippets into the category of forms of writing which work particularly well in a tweet as discussed in lesson 8 ok then as with every task i ve set you throughout this series this has to be all about tailoring twitter to you have a search around for some light relief check out the people you find funny leave a comment here sharing the quirky characters you already follow so we can all have look other people recommendations and retweets are the best way to naturally uncover the weird tweeters who are consistently worth following if you re feeling creative let us all know who your twitter alter ego could be or if you re feeling brave you could strike up a conversation with an infamous tweeting villain there s bound to be more than voldemort and a velociraptor out there so just take care well then that s almost it for tips for the twitter curious i ll be back on friday with my final post which will be a general round up of loose ends plus i ll be giving more details on the collage giveaway entry is for those who ve blogged about the class i already have a few things planned but i d also like to know what would you like to see in the final post are there any questions you still have about twitter i can t promise to answer them but between all those on the twitter curious list and with twitter at our disposal we could begin to find a solution i m sure have you found an account who you think we should all follow is there a category of people to follow that i ve overlooked etc etc etc whatever you d like to bring up right i ll leave you to go and get your twitter funny on and i ll see you back here on friday

8 february 2011 art journal challenge weeks 3 4 hi hi hi if past history is anything to go by i will actually succeed in responding to each of the 52 weekly prompts in the ukstampers art journal challenge i just might not do them all in the designated week i managed the photograph myself each week of 2009 for my year in outfits challenge i set myself i just didn t quite finish each page in the same week and when during the same year i followed along with emily falconbridge s 52q a year of mini art journaling i used to save up several prompts and work on more than one at a time so either i am either truly able to comfortably dedicate myself to 52 full weeks on the same thing or else 2009 was a fluke the year of the year long project i guess we ll find out in 46 weeks time when the ukstampers challenge is completed for now though i have responded to 4 of the 6 prompts so far go me week 3 s prompt was to write about school use lined paper and splash on some ink lined paper hello favourite product splash ink around i m in write about school not so much while reading through other people s delighted responses to the prompt i just had a complete block seeing how much the others had enjoyed the chance to reminisce about schooldays suddenly feltquite alien to me don t get me wrong school wasn t the worst time in my life even though it kind of led up to it and if you d asked me a week before the prompt was released if i could tell you ten lighthearted things to say about it i d have been convinced that i could and i could i just didn t want to just like when i was at school i almost went ahead and played along because i didn t want people to think i was trying hard to be different but even at school i managed to fight those feelings and stay true to myself so sticking to my own ideas in a page in a painty book was really nothing in comparison i m happy with it and in it s own subdued smudgy nothing quite clear way it s kind of a fitting response to the where did you come from and why now feeling i had about making it week 4 was much easier to write about childhood sweets but call me awkward i ignored the bit about childhood in fact i did the exact opposite i m still getting used to how the fibrous paper in the journal reacts to paint and ink even after sealing it with gesso but i do rather like some of the texture which shows through i haven t yet quite conquered stamping onto it below you might just be able to work out the phrase trick or treat running down the left side of the page the colour inks i used just blended in and i was too afraid of spoiling the whole page to go over it in black trick or treat is a fitting phrase for the bars of chocolate with salt i like the chocolate is dark and velvety and the hints of salt take the edge off the creaminess at just the right level most of the time until every now and again a few minutes after i ve eaten some a grain of rocksalt just re appears from nowhere and that s not quite the same rich experience there are 2 new prompts ready for me to tackle when i get the chance neither of which at the moment appear to be having a detrimental effect on my mental health so that s a bonus i ll bring my pages to show you when they re done and you can judge for yourself until then i ll see you tomorrow for what will be the penultimate tips for the twitter curi...
